1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: If you thought more hours a day, dred minutes a

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of hot takes,

6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben

7
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now that it does, and we are

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,720

Speaker 1: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller, and we allowed David

Speaker 1: you don't know this by now, every week about this time,

14
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: give or take some weeks. It probably won't be at

15
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: this time, but most of the time will be here

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: dropping around the same time early afternoon in the east,

22
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: know it. My voice sounds great. This week doesn't sound

23
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,199
Speaker 1: any different than any other week. So still saying those

24
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: stupid emails your Maron's I don't need You've you've woken

25
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: up on the wrong side of the bed today. It's

26
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: it's very apparent, and you've brought me down that road

27
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: to I am exhausted because I've had to stay here

28
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: overnight to monitor your show. You've brought up special guests

29
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: to me and your listeners. We deserve an apology. Uh

30
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: you did not. I saw you leave the building. There's

31
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: security camerage camera footage of you leaving the Psychopaths, So

32
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: you did leave the building. And you know, I don't

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: know if you got attacked by bed bugs or something

34
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: like that. And you probably don't have a sleeping over

35
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: bed like I have. No um so yeah, but but no,

36
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: I mean listen, it's uh we do this. We tape

37
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: this thing during the day and uh so sometimes I

38
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: can be rambunctious when that happens. But anyway, we're back

39
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: at coming up on today's edition. Through I give you

40
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: the rundown here because I like doing the rundown nice.

41
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: So this is what we're cooking up here. On the podcast,

42
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: we'll talk about we'll call the embargo Baby. I have

43
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: not mentioned this before. This is we try to give

44
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: you like insider stuff. Somebody pointed out, by the way Gascon,

45
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: that we did no sports conversation last week. There was

46
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: zero sports conversation, and as someone who is the producer

47
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: of the podcast, gas Gun, I fully blame you. In fact,

48
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: I want you to know that if anyone complains, my

49
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: default response and when management calls up and says I

50
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: didn't like what I heard there on this podcast, I

51
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: just blame you. I say, it's not my fault, it's

52
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: gas Gun's fault. You're my fall guy. Well, the beautiful

53
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: thing is, as you mentioned the top is we're under

54
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: the I Heart Media umbrella, so it's not strictly Fox

55
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 1: Sports and I heard media, so we encompass all that

56
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 1: is in this good world. That's true, and well that's

57
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: my my thought on this movie. I do four hours

58
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: of sports talk, plausibly sports talk, so this is not

59
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: it's not I'm trying to circumvent sports talk. But one

60
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: of the things that I would like is that I

61
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: want this thing to last, this podcast, as far as

62
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: the fact that if you listen to it. I listened

63
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: to podcasts from time to time, and when the sports

64
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: in the sports corner, when stuff is dated, it's it's

65
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: I evaded, you know, bipad, I sidestep, but whatever you

66
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: want to uh and so uh you know a lot

67
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: of these sports issues we talked about, unless we just

68
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: do really generic things, which I'm not against, you know,

69
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: I mean from time to time. You know you love

70
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: list radio. Gas got invented list radio. Um it's I

71
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: feel it's disastrous, but we could do like top ten lists.

72
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: We could do top five lists, you know, we could,

73
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: we could do all that stuff. We gotta keep it

74
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: more open ending. We can't really do We could do

75
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: that because I mean, after all we've had we can record, right,

76
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: we can just record out a general sports topic and

77
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: then not even worry if it changes the subject in

78
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: a day or two or even hours after that, Right,

79
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: something breaks and we stleft some recorded content that's still

80
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: that's not evergreen, but it's it's what we have. Well.

81
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: For for example, um, the was it two weeks ago

82
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: we were talking about it. We actually recorded a part

83
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: of the podcast talking about Antonio Brown Benny versus a Penny,

84
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: and we had to we had to delete that. Well,

85
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: I it's team when it when it's a team, Yeah,

86
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: it's in this in this respects this balancing act. Yeah

87
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, but yes, and so that content had to

88
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: be deleted because it was dated and all that story

89
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: had changed. And that happens a lot with these dopey things.

90
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: But you know that already anyway, So I want to

91
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: put you. We talked about this. I need to have

92
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: you on one of my games, on a television game

93
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: for Fox out here on Fox Sports. I would love

94
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: I would love that. I would I would do nothing

95
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: but sports cliches. I might get fired. No, no, no, no,

96
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: I think it would be great and and uh I

97
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: think they should just just a bit to improve ratings.

98
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: I would I would do that. I haven't been to

99
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: a high school game since you know, I was in

100
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: high school, but I would absolutely go. I would have

101
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: a great time. It would be a lot of fun.

102
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: And let me tell you something, all right, the amount

103
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: of hard oh sports talk that I could do here

104
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: if you if you want, I am a contributor. I

105
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: don't I kid around about this, but if you go,

106
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a website. You go to sports

Speaker 1: sports cliche dot com, well you had You've had a

115
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: couple of fantastic uh monologues with sports cliches from sports personalities,

116
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: right athletes. Uh yeah, yeah, Well I love it. Well

117
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: I did. We did a parody song years ago, which

118
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm very proud of. When the it was like a

119
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: pandemic all of a sudden hit, and it was everyone's saying,

120
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,119
Speaker 1: it is what it is like all so I put

121
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: a Of course I had someone else to it, I

122
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: because I pointed at someone else. But we put a

123
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: song together and it was the it is what it

124
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: is song, And it was like ten different people in football,

125
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: the big stars at the time, and they all, uh,

126
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: they all just said it is what it is like. Belichick,

127
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: Elim Lijah Manning, Tom Brady, they're still around. They were

128
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: doing it and all that stuff. So, but just think

129
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: of me like I have to. You know, I end

130
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: to review the high school coach down by two touches? Coach, man,

131
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 1: how do you stay hungry? You're up by you know,

132
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: you're you're up by two times? Are you're down by

133
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: two whatever? And uh you can go down that and

134
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: uh go down that road? What else? What's your feeling

135
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: coach heading into the locker room right now? Yeah? Yeah?

136
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: What do you tell your team at halftime? Coach Boom?

137
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: I love that one. That's a great I all that

138
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: from Aaron Andrews. I did I stole that from Aaron Andrews. Uh,

139
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: coach the match up, Your numbers look terrible, looks like

140
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: you have no chance to win, But the stature misleading,

141
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: aren't they? And you can survive As an NFL field reporter,

142
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: you'd be in a good spot. Yeah, I think I'd

143
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: be all right. I think I think I can handle that.

144
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: Not the one thing that you cannot say during a

145
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: broadcast like that, which a lot of radio hosts do

146
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: now or even television personalities, they always use unmitigated disaster.

147
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: That is a catchy phrase over the last year. You

148
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: do you do, but you don't use it as much.

149
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: Other people, I think use it as a crutch. I

150
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: don't know if why is that not allowed? I mean

151
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: it's okay, but you go back to the cliches, right,

152
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: the dumpster fires or you know whatever. It is something

153
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: that's catchy. It is what it is. Those things were

154
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: played on for a long period of time, and not

155
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: unmitigated disaster is one of those. So that this is

156
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: like an earworm for you. You hear this, You're annoyed

157
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: by this, you're troubled by this. I just think that

158
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: it's overused, right, A lot of this nonsense is overused.

159
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's everyone's using the same image. I do

160
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: try to change it up, though. That's I get fatigued

161
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: from using the same words, and I do need to.

162
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: My goal for the next week is to use the

163
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: the the word horn swoggle more. I don't use that

164
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: word enough. I love the word horn squogg. I feel

165
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,559
Speaker 1: like the great word. It's perfect words, fun word. Kids

166
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: laugh at it, adults think it's interesting. Uh that don't

167
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: always hear the words. So I like the word horn swoggle.

168
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: I need to use that more. It's a bad job

169
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: by me. Well please use it tonight. Then you know, no, no,

170
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I guess gone though. Yeah, you do

Speaker 1: So yeah, for Fox Sports West that will do high

173
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: school football games, and then when you get into winter,

174
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: it's usually college basketball and volleyball and baseball stuff that

175
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: you don't really care about, so don't no, I'd have

176
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: no interest in that. But it's on Fox. You should watch.

Speaker 1: As they say, but no, I would have fun. It

184
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: reminds me of I think we talked about this. I

185
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: don't know we did on on the podcast or not.

186
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: But when I used to do the Football Show, The

187
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: Hard Old Football Show with Looney Tunes on the weekend,

188
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: we had a great time. We had asked seven years

189
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: I did that show and we had to interview every week.

190
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: We had the stars of the NFL on Fox that

191
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: would come on the play by play people and everybody,

192
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: even Joe Buck had to do this and come on

193
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: with us, and we had players every week from the

194
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: winning locker room is never the losing locker room because

195
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 1: the reporters were afraid to have them come on the

196
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: show and they wouldn't come anyway. So we do this

197
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: every week and uh looney. One week we tried to

198
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: change it up because we were asking really good, thoughtful questions,

199
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: deep questions, you know, the kind of questions that you

200
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: gotta do some soul searching for the athlete to answer

201
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: the question. And it was it was such a disaster.

202
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: It was it was painful. So we changed it up

203
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: and Louni would just ask one one week, he asked

204
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: nothing but sports cliches, uh to the to the players,

205
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: he spoke their language like, hey, you really brought your

206
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: a game today, didn't you. Yeah, and things like that,

207
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, and they just they just ate it up.

208
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: They just and they were tickled to death that they

209
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: were asking these questions. And it was a tremendous improvement.

210
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: So that's a little lesson. If you ever get a

211
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: show where you have to interview athletes after football games,

212
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: don't ask them those deep soul searching questions. You know

213
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: where they could get lost in thought. You don't want

214
00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,079
Speaker 1: you don't want introspection. You don't you want simple, you

215
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: want right. They're as simple as it gets, is what

216
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: you want. I feel like there's a boilerplate template that's

217
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: available for field and court side reporters, for halftime and

218
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: for postgame, just immediate questions that come off your lips.

219
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: How do you feel what led you to victory? What

220
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: was the turning point in the game. What are you

221
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: gonna tell your team at halftime? Coach? Right, halftime adjustment?

222
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: What are you looking forward to next week? Okay, awesome?

223
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: So c I have a theory on this, A you're right,

224
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: this goes on everywhere. There's I don't know anyone that's

225
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: really outside that that certain lane they stay in, y'all

226
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: lane and all that stuff that they I know that's

227
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: saying fortune favors the bowl, which I use from something,

228
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: but not when your sideline report, Uh, it is not.

229
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: You want to keep your money. You have to you

230
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: have to play right. The other thing is that people

231
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: have just become programmed to watch football or any sport,

232
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: and they expect, you know what it is like a

233
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: certain expectation It's kind of like when I watch a

234
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: game and I know it's a blowout, and it's uh,

235
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: every broadcaster learns that sportscaster clown class that hey, uh,

236
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: we can't say the game is over. We have to lie, right,

237
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: We have to lie to these people's years and to

238
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: their face. And I said, you should not turn the

239
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: game off. You know it's a bare face lie, but

240
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: you have to say it anyway because you're trying to

241
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: keep your audience. It's harder to get new people than

242
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: keep the people you already have, So it turns into

243
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: a in a blowout, it's pathological line there when there's

244
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: a chance they could come back. Yeah, and once out

245
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: of like a thousand they come back. And then when

246
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: the team does come back, then it's like, well, I

247
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: told you, see, you should never turn the game up.

248
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: Nine nine point nine percent of time if you consider

249
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: all the factors, the game is over. But it's a blowout,

250
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: and and you and you use weasel words gas on

251
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: your own how do I use the reasl word. They

252
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: say that a broadcaster makes his or her money during

253
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: blowouts because that's the only way that you can keep

254
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: an audience around. It's like a talk show host, right, Like,

255
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: you can have a strong opening monologue, but if you've

256
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: got no salt, no pepper, nothing in the middle towards

257
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: the back end of the hour, then your game over.

258
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: You're there for what fifteen minutes? So in a game

259
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: you need the backstories. You need the players, you need

260
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: their stories, You need to know how they came about,

261
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: where they came from. I think those things are important.

262
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: You just have around a conversation. See, I disagree with

263
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: your analogy here. It is the thing that it's like

264
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: you you know firsthand, there's only host that provide a

265
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: good opening monologue and they check out after that. Well

266
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: that is true, alright, is true. But I would say

267
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: the bigger issue in our industry if I were to

268
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: give you a conversation about sports radio in general. And

269
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: I don't listen all that often because I don't want

270
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: to take other people's material and I feel like you

271
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: might listen, I might copy something somebody else does, so

272
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't actually listen as much as other

273
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 1: people do. But when I do sample sports talk radio,

274
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: all right, my analysis here, my diagnosis is that it's

275
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: it's part of the calendar, like that this time of

276
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: the year. During the NFL, there is usually five to

277
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: ten pretty good stories a day, some better than others

278
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: some days. But it's coming in in May and June

279
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: and the months where there's not a lot going on,

280
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: that's really not a lot of meat on the bone,

281
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: and to still put out and turn out a decent

282
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: to above average show that. I mean, it's just people

283
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: just pack it in. They get lazy, they don't they

284
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: don't have the the chops to it. But so I

285
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: think that's where like that's our blowout in sports radio

286
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: when there ain't crap going on, the ship going on.

287
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: We say that in the podcast, of course, and yeah,

288
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: so it's you know, it's it's how to do it.

289
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: And I guess in the layman's terms, it's almost like

290
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: the real estate market. Anybody can be an agent when

291
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: the real state market is hot, but when it comes

292
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: down and it cools off, then you see the feast

293
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: and the famine that takes place. That's what it's like

294
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: during the dog days of summer for baseball. Because there's

295
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: not a lot of people that will delve into Major

296
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: League Baseball. They won't talk a lot about that. They

297
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: don't go back to the National Football League and then

298
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: of course the NBA had some offseason drama over the

299
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: last couple of years, but that's been pretty much it.

300
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: So you really got to manufacture, which comes back to

301
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: your original point why it's important not to stick to

302
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: sports because there's so many other things that are going

303
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: on that make a show for three or four hours entertaining. Yeah,

304
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: I mean you've got a mix and match and and

305
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Yeah, even the hard oh sports shows

306
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: is I find it a hard listen. I know that

307
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: some people that love that and they like it, but

308
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: it's it's like nighties sports radio, where like you'd read

309
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: the read the lineups before games during the day, you know,

310
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: the Yankees lineups out. That's read the Yankees lineup. It's like,

311
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: okay on the phone to see that. Yeah, didn't you.

312
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember you're telling me a story about

313
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: a couple of New York broadcasters that would actually do

314
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: that for the radio shows in the morning time. They

315
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: would read it would be box score radio. Oh it

316
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: was actually Mike frances Is the legend of this, Like

317
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: FRANCESSA would kill like segments of his show just reading

318
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: the lineups and the box score and and it was

319
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: and he say a name and then he paused for

320
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: like thirty seconds, and I mean, he just dragged it out.

321
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: But I don't know if he still does that or not,

322
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: but he I'm guessing I'll have to check with fun House,

323
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: but I'm assuming he does actually do that. Anyway, I

324
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: was in the middle of the rundown. I was doing

325
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: a formal rundown this Nanny this week. So we have

326
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: Embargo Baby, the Power Lunch Study, this which I like,

327
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: and we've got marginal questions from It's in the Bag,

328
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: It's in the bag. We've got that, which I would

329
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: like to see better questions now. Last week I thought

330
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: the questions were pretty good. And then don't stick of Sports,

331
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: which will be really a blind we there's no production

332
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: meeting on this. I have no idea what five stories

333
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: guestcn's gonna pick. He was in a big hurry to

334
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: get this thing going year, so we'll we'll we'll kind

335
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: of play that by year. So that's that's what I think.

336
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: That's that's a good podcast. I think that's a solid

337
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 1: discussion has the ability to be a solid podcast. It's

338
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: really up to to you not to eff it up. Okay,

339
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

340
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,960

00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: you at least an obligatory sports story to kick this

342
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: thing off? Yes? Alright, oh, we that would be great

343
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: because that would appease, that would pacify the people that

344
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,239
Speaker 1: are upset. You never talk about sports, just borring. I

345
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: don't care about what you had for lunch. All right, well,

00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: Bowl j Lo JL man. She looks good for her age.

349
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: Does that mean a rod is gonna be hanging out? Also?

350
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: Will he be part of the festivities? Maybe with the

351
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: answers in the back? Isn't it usually a group effort?

352
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? So it'll be her? Who

353
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: is she gonna be with? I mean, there's gonna be

354
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: some ensemble group there, right, the assemblage, usually the SUPERO

355
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: I have some kind of tandem. That's that's my like.

356
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: They'll they'll bring some surprise musician who would be I'm

357
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: not big on the music there, guess and I listened

358
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: to it, but I don't know a lot about like,

359
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: who would be someone that people would get all excited

360
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: about and fascinated by if j Lo did some Jenny

361
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: from the block worked with somebody else. I mean justin

362
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: timber Lake comes to mind. Yeah, yeah, of course, I

363
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: mean justin timber Lake with Jack Jackson. Well that was

364
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: the super Bowl war wardrobe malfunction. Yeah, I think Gray Momanson.

365
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: We were, we were, I was on the ear doing

366
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: a show during the super Bowl. What about if P

367
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: Diddy comes out? Then you get a little friction right there,

368
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: because that that whole a Rod relationship will obviously j LO.

369
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: But P Diddy is the one that kind of brought

370
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: her up from where she came from the block. J Lo.

371
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 1: She's got a Derek Jeter like card of her her

372
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: list of accomplishments there her conquest j Lo. But she

373
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: had the gift basket. I don't know that she has

374
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: the gift basket or not, would you si? How old

375
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: is she by the way, Credit's yeah, she's fifty. For

376
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: her man, she's fifty. Where she probably spends a million

377
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: She's like called Brian James. I bet Jennifer Lopez spends

378
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: a million dollars a year probably to try to maintain

379
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: the body and she's been When did she first broke

380
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: in in like the early nineties? Right, Yeah, that's right.

381
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: That's a long that's like thirty years of j Lo

382
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: Jenny on the Block. Do you remember the show in

383
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: Living Color? I do. I I didn't watch it. I

384
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: watched it sometimes, but it was it was it was

385
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: a Fox show. It was very popular in the yearly nineties.

386
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:54,919

394
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, look, it's when you're younger, Like

395
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 1: you know, Pamela Anderson at one point was the hottest

396
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: woman in the world, but now probably not. She's got

397
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: some I got some issue is the little older down

398
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,080

401
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,960

00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: you want to get with the beautiful person because it's

403
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,960

404
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: story there if you were to hook up with someone

405
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: along those lines. Anyway, all right, let's let's get into

406
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: this embargo. Baby. So this podcast that you are listening

407
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,959
Speaker 1: to right now has gotten to me in trouble with

408
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: the NFL, and we don't even talk about sports. Now.

409
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 1: Let me let me explain. I have been put on Twitter,

410
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: not necessarily Twitter time out, but there's been an embargo

411
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: placed on some of my work. I use social media,

412
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: like pretty much everyone in this ridiculous industry, to promote

413
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: content that we do, audio content that we do, to

414
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: let people know where to get it and where to download.

415
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: And we're trying to build up the podcast audience, which

416
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: we thank you for being a member of a subscriber

417
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So we were trying to build

418
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: up the podcast audience. So I send out these tweets saying, hey,

419
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: so will listen to so and so and all this stuff.

420
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah

421
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 1: blah blah. Uh. So last week I sent a tweet

422
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: out over the weekend, I said, one last chance to

423
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: catch Benny versus the penny for Week three of the NFL,

424
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: we give you free handicapping and opinions about all today's

425
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: matchups and the Monday night football game. I sent that

426
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: out in the early in the morning on on Sunday.

427
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. It was a scheduled tweet. I

428
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: don't normally do that, but I was sleeping, so I

429
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: sent that out. I said, I said download, and then

430
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: I had a link. The link was to the podcast

431
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: page on I think was the Apple podcast page that

432
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 1: I happened to have a link to. And I put

433
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: that out, so whatever, And then like a couple of

434
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: days after that, I got a message announcing that the

435
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 1: following material had been removed from my Twitter account in

436
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: response to a d m C A takedown notice. And

437
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: that was the tweet and some schmuck, and then they

438
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: included the person's name who claims to work for the NFL,

439
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 1: saying the copyright owners the National Football League, this guy,

440
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: James will call him now, he doesn't actually work for

441
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: the NFL. He works for I guess a subcontractor, I think,

442
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: but I don't even know that, uh that the NFL

443
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: hires that to take down content. They have someone all

444
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: the time monitoring. It's like a room monitor monitoring what's up. Yeah,

445
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: it's like it's like when you're on the playground. You're

446
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: an elementary school and there's that that used as a

447
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: woman when I was in school, I had any whistle

448
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: and she'd whistle if you did something stupid, started getting

449
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: a fight with somebody or something like that. Anyway, So

450
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: so this I don't know. I don't much about this person.

451
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: I just I've never heard of this company, but it

452
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: is subcontractor for the NFL. And they file, they complain,

453
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: and the complaint appears to be that I used NFL

454
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: video footage, which is copyrighted by the NFL. The problem

455
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,239
Speaker 1: is I didn't include any f and video. All I

456
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: said was the word you know, the letter's NFL. That's

457
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: all I said. Hand to god, Gascon, I showed you

458
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: the email earlier, right, and now so you've told me

459
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: my legal counsel's David gasking, what kind of legal training

460
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: do you have? Gas? Well, I got I'm I'm related

461
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: to the former in deputy chief of l APD, if

462
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: that helps. But is he's not a lawyer though your

463
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: pop seeing a lawyer though, right, he's a legal expert,

464
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: legal expert. Okay, I'm sure he's been in playing of courtrooms.

465
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: But this is a legal matter. Because they want me

466
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: to you you've advised me to counter claim. Yes, in

467
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: fact you should. I actually went to our digital department

468
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: because this the d m c A basically means or

469
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: it is the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which was copyright

470
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: law implemented in so it's a notice of copyright that

471
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: an owner feels it was taking advantage of by someone

472
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: you as a subject for obviously consent without consent purposes.

473
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: So yes, you need to return fire. My bigger question

474
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: is are you going to turn the dogs loose? Same

475
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: way Shatner went after you and you brought the militia around.

476
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: Do turn those dogs loose again on this cat? Well?

477
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: I I certainly could I have his address? You have

478
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: his uh? I have his phone number which is included

479
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: in this um like all that, And that's the other problem.

480
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: So if I if I enter into this to to

481
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: rebut the if you've never had this happen to you

482
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: on on Twitter, and this is new to me. I've

483
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: not surprisingly, I've not had this happen. So to counter

484
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: the claim, I need to give my full legal name,

485
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 1: my complete mailing address, my telephone number, my email, my

486
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: Twitter user and name all that stuff. Uh, and then

487
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: I have to have to go point by point. There's

488
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: like a I think it's like five different things that

489
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: I have to do legally, uh to send it back.

490
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 1: And it's a big pain in the ass to the

491
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: the whole copyright. There's a there's an email address there

492
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: I have do you copyright at Twitter dot com? Is

493
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: the email additor? Now do you feel like this is

494
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: almost like being audited or if you're audited by the

495
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: I R S. Once you're audited one time, then it's

496
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 1: a consistent thing over and over again that if you know,

497
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: I think no, no, I think what happened here is

498
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: this guy just searched verified accounts because I wasn't. I

499
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: have a list of the other accounts that this this

500
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: whacka doodle attacked, I mean company with people like Yahoo

501
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: was they had a d m c A from this guy.

502
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: And there's a couple of other big name like media

503
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: companies that also had it. But I think what happens

504
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: this guy was lazy. My theory is this guy was

505
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: bat at his job and he just wanted to get

506
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 1: this thing over with, so he just searched the letters

507
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: NFL and try. You know, he just did as quickly

508
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: as he could. He just threw everything out there, and

509
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: he didn't actually click on the link because if you

510
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 1: clicked on the link that it's a link to a

511
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: podcast page, which I do not believe the NFL is

512
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 1: a copyright owner of UM. Anyways, a pain of the ask.

513
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: So I will take care of that this weekend. I

514
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: will counter the claim and it says I consent to

515
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial

516
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: district in which my address is located, and I'll accept

517
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: service of process from the person who provided. So I

518
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: mean this is I could be called in the court.

519
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: Let's go, let's go, let's go to Yes, let's do it, man,

526
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: What kind of questions at right? You see the effort

527
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: this kid's listening. We still got five stars. We as

528
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: was given me a hard time. Chris said that Chris

529
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: and Houston, who you you do not want on the podcast?

530
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: I want him on the podcast, but you do not

531
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: want him on the podcast. You don't like him. But

532
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: Chris and Houston said that I'm bad at cursing, and

533
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not great at cursing. And I told him

534
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: I think I said this on on the Overnight show,

535
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: as I said, Yeah, it's I don't want to get

536
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 1: into the habit because it's you know, I can get

537
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: a lot of trouble at the other place, and I

538
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: don't want to. It's not worth it anyway. All right,

539
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: the Power Lunch. Now, we've been asked by several members

540
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: of the malm Alicia here. He said, it's the fifth

541
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: hour with Ben Maller and Gascon. You guys better taught

542
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: me about this power lunch because we all tweeted out

543
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: photos last weekend Saturday night. This past weekend, a group

544
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: of radio rebels sat around eight Mexican food and told

545
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: old war stories at a fine Mexican restaurant which I

546
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: used to hang out at all the time when I

547
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: lived in the city, This eld Coyote on Beverly Lair.

548
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: I used to live just down the street from there,

549
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: in the in l a. And I was there at

550
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: least once a week, probably twice a week a lot

551
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: of the time. And they everyone knew me when I

552
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: would go in there. But we got together. And I

553
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: don't do this very often. I'm not allowed out. My

554
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: my keeper does not allow me out very often. Gasking

555
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: this was a special tree, but it was. It was me,

556
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: Rob Parker, the Great Rob Parker, star of the Odd

557
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: Couple and Boston's number one public enemy, Tom Looney, radio

558
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: legend and television Dennis Tom Looney and uh. And then

559
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: we allowed you to hang on guest on for so

560
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: we felt pity on you and we allowed you to

561
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: hang out. Now, why was your wife's surprised that we

562
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: actually had dinner outside on the patio. Yeah, I'm not

563
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: a patio guy and I didn't pick the table. I'm

564
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: an inside guy. Why I don't like to patty because

565
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: the car could run off the road and and take

566
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: you down and all that stuff. I just the inside.

567
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: I'm want the and they have more comfortable chairs inside restaurants,

568
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: usually padded chairs and things like that. So yeah, if

569
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: I had gotten there first, we would have been in

570
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: a corner like a booth in the back is where

571
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: I I used to go when I would go to

572
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: that restaurant. Well, it was great weather on a Saturday night.

573
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: You made me stay at the Geico Fox Sports Rado

574
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: students an extra hours, so I got there a little

575
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: earlier than everybody else. I picked the table, and we

576
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: went to an establishment that charged seven dollars and fifty

577
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: cents for one bottle Pacifico. Yeah, and that actually leads

578
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: us into some fun facts about this meat, meat and greet. Here.

579
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: The only person out of the four to order alcohol

580
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: was David Gascon, the only one to order outool the

581
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: rest of us. We were just there to have a

582
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: good time and trade stories and talk about the good

583
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: old days and all that. And Gascon's like, I need

584
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: to get boozed up. What's up with that, guest. The

585
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: reason I did that was because I knew I wasn't

586
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: gonna get a word in. That's true. You were pretty

587
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: much the audience. You were the studio audience and most

588
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: of that, most of that, it was back back and forth.

589
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, you only want to order the boost. Yeah.

590
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: And here's a fun fact about I learned about David

591
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: Gascon at this little get together with Rob Parker and

592
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: Tom Looney went, not not only does Gascon not know

593
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: how to park, he doesn't know how to read parking signs.

594
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: So I mean you you have such a stigma with

595
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: the parking. So we're we're there, and like I I

596
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: valet park. I never valet park. I despise Valley Parking.

597
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: I feel like Gascon. It's like you've run the New

598
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: York Marathon and then the last half mile you you say,

599
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: all right, pushed me across the finish line. It's like, no,

600
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: I want to finish the race that I started, and

601
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: but I valet park because the parking at that time

602
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: we had the meal is terrible in that part of

603
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, Like there's no it's all metered. I didn't

604
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: have changed for the meter. I couldn't feed the meter.

605
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: And all the side streets which I have plenty of parking,

606
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: but the people that live there. I understand they don't

607
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: want people parking there because they want to park there,

608
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: and so you have to have a special sticker otherwise

609
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: you get a ticket. And there's signs everywhere. So I

610
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: just valet parking. You think it was five fifty for

611
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: valet plus tip for the valet. So I did it.

612
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: And then we're at the we're at the meal and

613
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: everyone's telling where they parked. And Rob Parker park he

614
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,719
Speaker 1: found a meter, he had some change. He parked there.

615
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: Lney found a place to park down the down the

616
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: street and then gascon use. Oh I I parked on

617
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: the street. I find plenty of parking. My street sign

618
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: was covered by a tree. First of all, that's a long.

619
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: Second of all, that is a truth. But you have

620
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: a lie because you can actually put your credit card

621
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: or debit card inside the meter to pay for the

622
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: parker the parking meters. No, no, no, that's only some

623
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: of the parking. Because it is it is. I tell

624
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: you I didn't. I went. I stopped at a parking

625
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: meter and it was like one of those old school ones.

626
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: So if I had seen the one with the credit card,

627
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: I would have slid the credit card in and would

628
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: have saved myself about six bucks or whoever it was

629
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: so anyway. But but this in Genleman, not not that

630
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: we know. We can't tell what it actually was said

631
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: per se because that's private. I'm not gonna be Judas

632
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: here and break the bubble of trust. But we all

633
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: traded stories about the silliness of working in and radio.

634
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: Rob had some great stories about when he was doing

635
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: local radio and Detroit and what that was like. And

636
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: I told stories about San Diego and the Ben and

637
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: Dave Show, and Looney was waxing poetic about York and

638
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: all that nonsense, and it was great. And like, if

639
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: you're a radio geek like me, if you love radio,

640
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: then I was worried, Guestcott. I I really thought I

641
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: might overdose on dopamine because I was getting so much

642
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: dopamine from I was getting so much joy out of

643
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: all these stories. I love the stories. I mean, they're

644
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: they're great. Rob was telling stories about when he was

645
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: a beat writer for the for the Cincinnati Reds and

646
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: lou Panella and the big Red machine of that era,

647
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: the early nineties. Yeah, Rob Dibble, the whole was col

648
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: I thought. The interesting thing for for me, some of

649
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: my my age group was listening to you guys because

650
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: a lot of the crossover with with radio came from

651
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: the Howard Stern stuff. And so yeah, yeah, we were

652
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: all influenced by Howard Stern. All of us were in

653
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: one way or another influenced by Stern. But not like

654
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: Stern now because now Howard Stern's politically correct and he's

655
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: by the book and he's interviewing celebrities. We were all

656
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: big as Howard Stern when Howard Stern was a rebel

657
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: and it was the the ultimate shock jock and didn't

658
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: want to hang out with any somebody. In fact, I've

659
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: I think I told you a quote which is which

660
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: I stole in part by Howard Stern. Uh the uh,

661
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: the fact that Howard he didn't want to be friends

662
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: with celebrities because he had to be able to rip them,

663
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: you know, and he felt like he felt like he

664
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 1: became friends with these people that he wouldn't he wouldn't

665
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: be able to be critical of them, right. I mean,

666
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 1: that's a version of it. But I asked the question,

667
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: uh word, did don't let a falling star fall on you? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,

668
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: we I gave you that. That was I can say

669
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: that a Grady Little who was the manager of the

670
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: Red Sox and the Dodgers. But when he was managing

671
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, they had brought in a bunch of veteran

672
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: players that used to be All stars and we're really

673
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: good players and all that, and Grady, not on the record,

674
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: but off the record, issued a statement about how one

675
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: of the challenges when you're managing in the major leagues

676
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: is to not allow a falling star to fall on you.

677
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: Meeting the team spends a bunch of money on a

678
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: veteran player, obviously, it was kind of self explanatory. And

679
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: then that player, like you know, normal Garcia Paro I

680
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: think was part of those teams. Like he comes to

681
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. He's not anywhere as near as good as

682
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: he had been for the Red Sox, but he's a

683
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: falling star and he ends up falling on top of you,

684
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 1: and then you end up losing your job. Look, Joe

685
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: Madden is a perfect example. Joe Madden. Find baseball man,

686
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: renaissance man, uh, Joe Madden, and you look at what

687
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: his situation in Chicago. And John Lester got old some

688
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 1: of the players who aren't even that old have become

689
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: falling stars on the Chicago Cubs are not as productive

690
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: as they were supposed to be. And Joe Madden is

691
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: likely going to lose his job this weekend, if he

692
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: hasn't already lost his job as manager of the Cups.

693
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: But that that was and and I buried the lead

694
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: by man, you buried the lead who paid the bill?

695
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,919
Speaker 1: You paid the bill gas guy who paid the bill?

696
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: Several of you guys you want to see alligator arms?

697
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: I call Kyler Murray, alligator arms Murray. But when that

698
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 1: check came, suddenly, you know, some of these guys, am

699
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 1: I gonna name any names, suddenly had alligator arms. They

700
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: I want to go for that check. I went right

701
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: in there. I unlike Cam Newton who backed away. I

702
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: jumped in on top of the fumble. That's what I did. Well,

703
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: if you look at your your phone right now, there's

704
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: a reason for that. But I will say this much

705
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: is that let me hold on, let me look at

706
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: my phone. Last time that we uh that we enjoyed

707
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: a dinner. I had a I had a piggyback and

708
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: carry the entire team with us, you and and Lee

709
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: and uh the rest of the gang. So we gotta

710
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: do more of these things. My wife does not want

711
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: us to do more of these things. I loved. I

712
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 1: could not get enough of this. I think the best

713
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: thing for or me listening to you guys talk was

714
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: the satisfaction that there was absolutely no ounce of social

715
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: media ever present when you guys are operating under those circumstances,

716
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: because if there was, there's no chance in hell you

717
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 1: or Rob or Looney would have gotten with half the

718
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: crap that you guys did on the air or in print,

719
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: because it would be it would be blasted all over

720
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: social media Facebook and Twitter and Instagram, and then you

721
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: guys have get blasted right to the chest and probably

722
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: out of a job in certain circumstances. Oh yeah, yeah,

723
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: well under the sensibilities and the everyone's offended by something crowd,

724
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 1: which is everybody. You know. It's like the the continually

725
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: offended mob that that run around here and are triggered

726
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: by everything. The you get the snowflake types and all that.

727
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,720
Speaker 1: The I like to call him the Charman ultrasoft toilet

728
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 1: paper crowd who just freak out over I mean, yeah,

729
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: I mean some of the stuff that we were able

730
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: to do, and I I got into the business, I said,

731
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: a really good time. I even though looking back on it,

732
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: I'd always said, I wish I had started a couple

733
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 1: of years later, because when I started, it wasn't all

734
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: digital and all that stuff. There was no social media,

735
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: there was none of that stuff. And we had the

736
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 1: facts of the day. We we'd have that and uh

737
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: the interaction and people would like send. I did a

738
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: midday show in l A and we had tons of

739
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: people that that didn't have to be provoked. They would

740
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: they would, you know, send in the text of the

741
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 1: facts of the day and then and all that. But

742
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: I learned all the old equipment in radio. Man we

743
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: the technology has changed. And when I first started, I

744
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: was an engineer, like a board op and I had

745
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: to use these real the real machines, cart machines, this

746
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 1: old technology that no longer outside of small markets is

747
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: no longer used in in in radio. And so I

748
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: learned all that, and then I had to learn everything

749
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: again because they changed it all to digital, and so

750
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: I had to I learned that. But as far as

751
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: they like radio bits that we did, I mean, it

752
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: was great, it was wonderful. It's it's stuff that people loved.

753
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: And I still I get guys that listened to when

754
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: they were in their twenties who are now in their

755
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: forties or whatever, and they were like, oh, I love that.

756
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: Why don't you do that anymore? And I'm like, well,

757
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: I can't do it anymore. Those bits. Yeah, you know,

758
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: It's it's funny you say that because I grew up

759
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: and I would listen to Jim Rome. But I would

760
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: listen to Rome twice a day. It was when I

761
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: was in San Diego. Whenever I drove back, he'd always

762
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: be on simulcast or on the sumulcast. He'd have the

763
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 1: broadcast replayed up here in Los Angeles. And so I

764
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,280
Speaker 1: remember my first night working here at the network, working

765
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: overnight on your show, and I thought exactly that. I

766
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: was like, who the fund is this guy? Like he is,

767
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: He's a breath of fresh air. You get the monotone

768
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: dudes that are the nine, you know, nine to twelve

769
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: or the twelve, the threes that are always the same

770
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: stick and spiel, And then I had no idea for

771
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: the longest time who you were. And then I remember it.

772
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,439
Speaker 1: I was like, wait a minute, this guy, lets it rip.

773
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: I didn't You were the first guy I had remember

774
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: listening to prior to Jim Rome that actually turned loose

775
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: on stuff as opposed to the regular black and white

776
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: box score material. This is how the show's gonna be.

777
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: It's all structured, and maybe we'll dip into a couple

778
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: of phone calls. Yeah, well kind of you guess. Look

779
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: at you buttering my biscuits there. I appreciate. But I

780
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,479
Speaker 1: believe that is good radio. I think that's good talk,

781
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: good audio content is uh. When you become you have

782
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: to be passionate. That's what I was told, you know,

783
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: and I believe it to be true. I don't even

784
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 1: be told it, but I was been repeated many times.

785
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: Um find I just heard from one of my old

786
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 1: program directors who was a big influence on me, Mike Thompson,

787
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: who I love. The great guy. Helped me out a lot,

788
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: and he's a radio lifer and I just had had

789
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: some great memories with him. He worked all over the place.

790
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: He's actually now just got a job in Omaha at

791
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: the Fox affiliate in Omaha, so he was he was

792
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:57,240
Speaker 1: texting me the other morning. But like the philosophy, I

793
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: I don't like listening playing it down the middle. I

794
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: feel like that's terrible. Well, we we shouldn't form an

795
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 1: opinion yet, we should wait until this, you know, this

796
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: game is over and then well, you know, no, I

797
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: mean that's not how it works anyway. I not that

798
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: you have to be completely unhinged and illogical and all that,

799
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 1: but it generally makes for better radio. If you're stark,

800
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: raving mad. Uh, you know what I mean, if you're

801
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: if you're not a little bit on that, you're not

802
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: a little psycho and wacko, it's usually a pretty boring

803
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: radio thing. And moving on. We I had to study this.

804
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: That's next, guest, when you're ready for study this, Yeah,

805
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: let me ask you. How was the What was the

806
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: reception like for your audience last week when we did

807
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: the food picks and the uh, the destinations of where

808
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: you're gonna die in the United States? Any kind of

809
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: response to that. Well, I did guess and people were

810
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: shocked that we did thirty minutes on the causes of

811
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: death in states that they were. They were surprised that

812
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: we did that, and uh, completely understandable. I didn't get

813
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: much reaction from the food stuff. I thought the food

814
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: stuff was pretty good. Well, because you can't see it,

815
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: That's why yeah, what did your wife think about your

816
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 1: favorite STD? Any any kind of thoughts from her? Well,

817
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: she and we disagree. We debated. She has a different

818
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: favorite STD, and so we we got a whole argument,

819
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: me and the wife. You know. We yeah, yeah, we

820
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 1: we'll get some marriage counseling in here about this trip.

821
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 1: We'll be all right, alright, yeah, alright, So study this.

822
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: These are actual studies. Now, I have an obsession. If

823
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: you know, over the years, you listen to the show,

824
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: and you're obviously if you're you're a super fan. If

825
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: you're listening to this, you're Matar, militia person, p one

826
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: all that. So you know this probably, but maybe not,

827
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: maybe you're new to the show. I love studies now

828
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: I have a love hate relationship. But these are usually

829
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: university studies, but sometimes they're commissioned by non universities or whatever,

830
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: and I would love hate. So a lot of this

831
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: is just bullshit. It's just absolute bullshit. So we're gonna

832
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: play game on study. This is this legit or is

833
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: it bullshit? With these studies? Now, for example, this one

834
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: I saw this week, it's fake it till you make

835
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: It's called imposter syndrome. And this is when people feel

836
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: like frauds, even if they are actually capable, well qualified

837
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,280
Speaker 1: for what they're doing. And they say it's more common

838
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 1: of people who are of college age, like college students.

839
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 1: It's about of college students suffer from what they call

840
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: imposter syndrome. We're experiencing something new. They they're outside their

841
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,919
Speaker 1: comfort zone and whatnot, and they feel like they don't

842
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:28,240
Speaker 1: belong there. So is this legit or is this bullshit?

843
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: I actually think this is legit, guest, because yeah, I

844
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: I know. When I first got on a the mighty

845
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: six nineties, this huge radio station, I was like, man,

846
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: I don't belong here. These people are better than me.

847
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 1: You know what. When I did Dodger Talk for the

848
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 1: first time, I was like, man, I I hope they

849
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: don't listen, because man, I'm bad at this and I

850
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: don't belong here and these people are great and I don't.

851
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: So I definitely have felt that at times in my life.

852
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 1: I have you, Yeah, I did. When I first got

853
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: into the industry, I started from the ground up, though

854
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 1: I don't know how you got in, but I was

855
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: a technical director, and then I was a producer, and

856
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 1: then I became an anchor, but that first time red

857
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: lights came on and microphone pop, I was like, wait

858
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: a minute, I'm talking the thousand words a minute and

859
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: trying to emulate other people. I just felt like I

860
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 1: was I was a small fish and a giant pond. Yeah,

861
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: I was. I felt that way a couple different points.

862
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they would bring in big name stars of

863
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: television or our sports and stuff, and and it was always,

864
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's like, what what am I doing here?

865
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: You know? I mean, I'm I'm from settled back college.

866
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: I'm not supposed to be hanging out. But you gotta

867
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: get over that, and you get over it. But I

868
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: do think imposter syndrow. I think it's more than I

869
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: think it's. I think it's a lot of you. If

870
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: you get your dream job, whatever that might be, and

871
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: you're when you first start, it's you're trying to get

872
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 1: your sea legs underneath you and all that. So I

873
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: I believe in the imposter syndrome. A moving on spread

874
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: the bad news. Now, this got my attention because every

875
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: once in a while, guess gun, some foolish, incoherent nutball

876
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: will send me an email saying, you know you're so negative,

877
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 1: you are such a negative Nellie. You know you're such

878
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,399
Speaker 1: a barbaric, heartless bastard. You know, give me this whole

879
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: rant about it. I need to be more positive. Well,

880
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: the reason I am the way I am is because

881
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 1: I know human nature, guest gun, and I was backed

882
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,399
Speaker 1: up by his study. Obviously, this makes me feel better

883
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: because I agree with it. But here's the study. Negative news.

884
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 1: The reason it gets broadcast and published online more than

885
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: positive news is because, according to a new global study,

886
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: on average, humans tend to react more strongly to negative information.

887
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: And when you're in the media business, a lot of

888
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: this is trying to get a reaction out of people.

889
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: And that is an example of that. I already knew

890
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: you know how I knew this, guest going. You know

891
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: how I knew this when I did Dodger Talk years

892
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: ago and when the Dodgers would in no calls, nobody cared.

893
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: When the team lost, it was fire the fire, the manager,

894
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: fire the GM whoever the star player was wasn't performing well,

895
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 1: get rid of him. But then the even more confirmation.

896
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 1: For about two years, I was the fill in guy

897
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: on Red Sox Review, which is the Boston version of

898
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: Dodger Talk. After Red Sox games on EI, so I

899
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: would come on. I didn't do it all the time.

900
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: I did it maybe a couple of days a week

901
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:30,280
Speaker 1: after Red Sox games. And I noticed the same exact

902
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 1: thing when the Red Sox like last year, and when

903
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: the Red Sox won that they said a record for

904
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: wins for the franchise. I believe a hundred eight wins

905
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,240
Speaker 1: or whatever it was. That was tough because they almost

906
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: never lost, you know, and I and and people wouldn't react.

907
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: They didn't have nothing to complain about. Now, I will

908
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: say one thing about Boston a little more than l

909
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:49,919
Speaker 1: A is that they can find something to complain about.

910
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: Like the team could be when fifteen out of seventeen,

911
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: they'll be like, well, I think the other shoe is

912
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: gonna drop. But still it generally speaking, it was if

913
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:04,280
Speaker 1: the team was not playing well, people would be arms,

914
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 1: arms in the air and all that stuff. So I

915
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 1: have this to me is confirmation corroboration of what I

916
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: already what are you? Yeah, I believe I would rather

917
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: look at a car crash than I would see like

918
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 1: a wedding or proposal. In fact, you bring up a

919
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: great story. And I thought about this just now because

920
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: you know, the whole Antonio Brown. I'm taking a hot

921
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: air balloon into into wine country for you know, for

922
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: the Oakland writers in their training camp and NAPA nobody,

923
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: nobody really cared about that. But there's a Twitter account

924
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 1: called Darwinism and I watched this on loop yesterday where

925
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: this guy took a hot air balloon and it wasn't

926
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 1: out in the middle of nature, it wasn't out in

927
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 1: the middle of just green passes everywhere. He brought this

928
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: hot air balloon into the middle of a city and

929
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: they got tripped up by power cables and power lines.

930
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: And you hear the person that was recording this saying,

931
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,280
Speaker 1: get out of the way, get out of the way.

932
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 1: And this hot air balloon goes cray asking these power

933
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: cables and you just see this giant explosion. And I

934
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: was enamored with it and just kept watching it a

935
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: loop on a loop on a loop, and I was like,

936
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 1: you know, who could give a shit about Antonio Brown?

937
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: But I would watch this over and over again, even

938
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,879
Speaker 1: though I know that the outcome is you know, you're

939
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: a morbid person. We we not me? No, I don't know, okay,

940
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: because you'd sent me some morbid stories that videos. When

941
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: I was in uh, I was uh junior high or

942
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: high school, it was like faces of Death. Yeah yeah,

943
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: that was like a big thing before the Internet. It

944
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 1: would show people meeting their device right, or they'd be somewhere,

945
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: like a parent would hold their kid from getting run

946
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: over by a train that was coming through an expressway.

947
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: Things like that and just avoiding death at like a

948
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: narrow margin. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, those are good. So

949
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: you watch those, don't act like I'm the only one

950
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: that's more I like your man, if my friends would

951
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:55,879
Speaker 1: be my my guys would be like, hey, you gonna

952
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: check this out. You're not above it. But the problem

953
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 1: it isn't like today where you could just go on

954
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 1: your phone. These are kids today you had to like

955
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 1: go to there were VHS tapes. You had to find

956
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: this stuff. I mean it was hard to find, you know.

957
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: But I won't watch anything that has death in it.

958
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,439
Speaker 1: If people are survived, it's it's available. If they die,

959
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go searching for it, like on Reddit

960
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 1: or some of these other backdoor websites or anything like that. Uh,

961
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 1: I didn't know read it was a backdoor website. Well,

962
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 1: they have links to those different things I read. I

963
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: read an article yesterday. I read it that had which

964
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 1: is being contaminated right now by manufacturers in Bangladesh for lead.

965
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,280
Speaker 1: There's lead that's being deposited into some of these stuff.

966
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: That's not globally right, it's it is. People are that

967
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: stuff all the time online, especially through Amazon and some

968
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,240
Speaker 1: of the other websites and whatever. I should tell my wife.

969
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: She loves that tumor rex. She's all about the tumor rex,

970
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: so she should probably stopped taking them. Well, if he's

971
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 1: not getting from Bangladesh, Bangladesh. Yeah, all right, let's see

972
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,439
Speaker 1: what is next year we're doing study this. How about

973
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,399
Speaker 1: click any click? Uh? There's a new stuff the out

974
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: that explains how clickbait works. This is what I wanted

975
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 1: to know. They say the reason people are pretty much

976
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 1: helpless to avoid clickbait they have to click on it

977
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: because there's the promise of compelling information and it's I

978
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: used the word dopamine earlier. They say it's a it's

979
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: a dopamine path away. They claim that dopamine is released

980
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 1: and creates that itch that can only be scratched by

981
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: clicking on the clickbait because you have to obtain the

982
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 1: promised information. Essentially, it is the human condition. We are

983
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: all wired, every man, woman and child the same way.

984
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 1: We need information because of our safety or whatnot, to

985
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: persent we we live and we feed on information, right,

986
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: we're all of us. We need to know about things.

987
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 1: Were curious people most people are. Uh. And they say

988
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 1: another way that clickbait lures people in is they say

989
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: it's like the Vegas effect because of there's there's this

990
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 1: variable ratio rein forcement, which is a lot of big

991
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 1: words of scheduled kind of in gambling, with the slot

992
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: machines and all that, the noises, no clocks in the

993
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: slot machine, the little tricks they do in casinos to

994
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:14,280
Speaker 1: keep you around. But they say, the clickbait headlines, according

995
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: to this study, make make make us curious and see

996
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: what's behind the curtains, Like you want to see You

997
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 1: want to peek behind the curtain, see what the you

998
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: just see a little taste of the story that makes sense.

999
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: It makes sense. And people complain about clickbait, but you

1000
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: know it ain't going away. And Uh, if you don't

1001
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,319
Speaker 1: want clickbait, stay off the internet. I think clickbait only

1002
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 1: comes for for most part, it's usually with videos now right,

1003
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: you have like a fifties second or fifteen second or

1004
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: video feature, and it just teases it and then you

1005
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: get the article it's deposited inside, or you've got some

1006
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: sexually provocative pictures that accompany a meaningless article which you

1007
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 1: don't really want to, you know, click on, but you

1008
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,760
Speaker 1: do so because you want to see what's behind. TV

1009
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: does it all the time. Radio doesn't. Yeah, we do

1010
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:03,879
Speaker 1: it all the time. We do it in radio. Of course.

1011
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 1: We want people to You want people to not click.

1012
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: You want to mistay. You don't want to have people

1013
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: to to leave. We tease all the time, and sometimes

1014
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 1: I'll forget, certainly my guys don't remind me, and then

1015
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: two hours later I'm paying off the tease. No, I'm

1016
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 1: onto something else. No. What about the blue light? Have you?

1017
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 1: Have you read about that much? The blue light effect

1018
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 1: on your brain? Were doctors have talked about the effects

1019
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,400
Speaker 1: of looking at your cell phone too much and that

1020
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 1: blue light impact your your eyes and also your brain

1021
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,760
Speaker 1: the dopamine, which could impact your ability to lose weight,

1022
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,879
Speaker 1: get proper sleep. They say that you should not look

1023
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 1: at your phone in the first sixty minutes of when

1024
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:42,800
Speaker 1: you wake up and don't look at your phone or

1025
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: a computer two hours before you go to bed, just

1026
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 1: because of the way that it wires your brain and

1027
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 1: rewires it. You know. My my wife, you sound like

1028
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 1: a hippie. My wife who's a hippie um, and she's

1029
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 1: into all the special vitamins and all the New Age

1030
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:06,240
Speaker 1: stuff and all the supplements. She got me. She she

1031
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,320
Speaker 1: she reads these stuff online. She got me these glass

1032
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 1: because she read the same thing you read a while ago.

1033
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 1: And so she got me these glass because I'm on

1034
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 1: the computer all the time and I put some stuff

1035
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: down and I try to put some notes down for

1036
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:19,720
Speaker 1: Benny versus the penny during the week or whatever before

1037
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 1: I go to bed. And so she she knows this,

1038
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 1: and she got me these these glasses that are supposed

1039
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 1: to help you with the lights so it doesn't affect you.

1040
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 1: They're like you know, and I I used them like

1041
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: for I don't even know where they are now. I

1042
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 1: used them for a couple of weeks there. That was

1043
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:37,839
Speaker 1: right up there with the other thing my wife. There

1044
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 1: was the Himalayan Salt lamp, which she she got me

1045
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: because it's supposed to help your I don't know what

1046
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: it helps with. But she told me some story she

1047
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 1: read somewhere, and so she got this this big Himalayan

1048
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 1: salt lamp and I used it for like two weeks

1049
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: and then that was it. Didn't use it again. It's disappeared.

1050
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 1: I don't know where it is, but it's not here.

1051
00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 1: But keep in mind with what your wife does for

1052
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 1: a living, she's got opportunities to listen and read information

1053
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 1: and educate herself, as opposed to picking up some tabloid

1054
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 1: magazine and just taking a verbatim and saying, all right, here,

1055
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 1: try this, honey. It's not like she's ordering something that's

1056
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 1: from India and saying, hey, Ben, try this sound and

1057
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: see if it works. I don't know. Maybe it did

1058
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 1: come from media. We got a problem with up that

1059
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 1: you don't like curry. Shame on you like USA American?

1060
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 1: May you ever had Indian food? I have actually had

1061
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 1: last night here in the studio by somebody else. Yeah,

1062
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: we got an Indian restaurant that's like right up the street.

1063
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 1: Who paid for the food? Last one of your old

1064
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 1: technical directors, Alex Tisher, to do with long hair and

1065
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:39,440

1096
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:07,280
Speaker 1: like Clay Travis does the show from from Nashville. There's

1097

1099
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: of the shows are in l A. But they're all

1100
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 1: over the But the some of the guys that we

1101
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: have on Dan Patrick does the show from Connecticut, but

1102
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: he's on the on the network and uh, you've got

1103
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 1: rich eyes and doesn't from a TV studio. Uh yeah,

1104
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:28,320
Speaker 1: Colin Cowherd does it from the Fox lot in West

1105
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 1: l A. So he's not in the building that we're in.

1106
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 1: So it's, uh, everyone's all over the place. But yeah,

1107
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: we should do those those money But like I would

1108
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,359
Speaker 1: like to do these these again. I don't know, like

1109
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:42,360
Speaker 1: this should be like once every other month or something

1110
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: like that. I don't think I can get it every

1111
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: I then my wife will kill me if I do

1112
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 1: it every month, but like once every other month, and

1113
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 1: we could. You know, we can come up with a

1114
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: list here of when you love of like people we

1115
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 1: should hang out with that do we know in the business, Well,

1116
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 1: that have to be good storytellers like Looney's great at

1117
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 1: telling story is. And the cool thing about going I'm

1118
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 1: as an introvert. The reason I love hanging out with

1119
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 1: Looney is because I don't feel the pressure to talk

1120
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 1: because I know if there's any pause in the conversation, uh,

1121
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:15,879
Speaker 1: that Looney will pick it up right, he will pick

1122
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: it up and he will do what he asked to

1123
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,439
Speaker 1: do to enhance the conversation. I don't have to worry

1124
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: about I think what we need to do is just

1125
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 1: make sure that you're willing and able to drive from

1126
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: Arizona out to the west side of town. Because no,

1127
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 1: this is good because you know, when I lived in

1128
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 1: the city, I had all the restaurants in l A.

1129
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 1: We still go to a lot of those places. Next

1130
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 1: time we should go to Fat South is what we

1131
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 1: ought to do. That's a great We can actually do

1132
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 1: the podcast from there. That place is open until I

1133
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 1: think three or four o'clock in the morning. Yeah, no,

1134
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: it's great. And is uh there's one in Encino's one

1135
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 1: in Uh. Of course you want the one in Encino

1136
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:51,440
Speaker 1: because it's close to unless she's not close to you,

1137
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: it's close to where you work. But there's one in

1138
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: The one I usually go to is in l A.

1139
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 1: Just south. I think what street is a Highland? I

1140
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: think it is just down from Hollywood. Yeah, yeah, just

1141
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 1: down from there. I hang out there. That used to

1142
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 1: be a real CD They race lived near there, and

1143
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: that was that street at night was where the hookers were.

1144
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 1: That was where the prostitutes would walk the streets there,

1145
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 1: And they weren't always they were not always women, They

1146
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: were not always women guests. How did you find that out?

1147
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 1: I heard a friend had told me about that that

1148
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 1: that was there was used to be a taco stand

1149
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 1: right on the corner down there, and that was apparently

1150
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: where everyone would hang out in that that particular. Not

1151
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: that there's anything wrong with that, but it's not my

1152
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 1: my cup of team. We're doing study this what is next?

1153
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: We did click any click? How about push it real good? Uh?

1154
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 1: It says here that that a study has discovered that

1155
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 1: introverts like me are happier after pushing themselves socially, And uh,

1156
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 1: I don't. I think this is actually more bullshit than anything,

1157
00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 1: because I don't like I I pushed my off a

1158
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:02,479
Speaker 1: little bit this past weekend at that dinner thing we had,

1159
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 1: but I don't I don't feel happier because of it.

1160
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the right, the right, the way

1161
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 1: I will tell you that. I'll go back to the

1162
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 1: thing that was like a three hour meal. That was

1163
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 1: a long I mean that was like that was the

1164
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:18,560
Speaker 1: kind of thing when you're a kid and your parents

1165
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 1: would talk to like your aunt or your I used

1166
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 1: to go out my my auntie VI and my mom

1167
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 1: would go out and they would just talk and it

1168
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 1: would be like I want to get out of the

1169
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 1: restaurant and they're telling stories and I'm like, I don't

1170
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: want to hear your stupid story. Take me home. And

1171
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 1: uh That's what it was like. But fortunately there were

1172
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 1: no kids there, so it was all right. We just

1173
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:36,919
Speaker 1: we just kept going that's perfect. Yeah, And we didn't

1174
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 1: even eat a lot we had. I had some street tacos.

1175
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 1: I think you had some tacos. Yeah, I didn't. I

1176
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 1: didn't need that much. I mean that the chips, which

1177
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 1: were good. The other problem, here's another reason I don't

1178
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 1: like eating outside. You don't get the chips replenished as off.

1179
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 1: When you're inside, the chip person comes around all the time.

1180
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: But when you're outside of a Mexican restaurant, and it

1181
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 1: works the same way with Italian restaurants with the bread

1182
00:59:58,360 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 1: they don't bring, the bread is off and when you

1183
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 1: in at an outside table part of their rotation. I

1184
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 1: don't think us uh as as guys are looking to

1185
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 1: lose weight and need all the chips and bread and

1186
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: salsa and all that stuff. Well, I have shut up

1187
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 1: speak for yourself. It's like a cheap meal. When I'm

1188
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 1: on a cheap meal, I eat like I eat like

1189
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 1: the old guy back in the old desks. I go

1190
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:18,959
Speaker 1: big because I don't eat much as you know, guess

1191
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 1: because you send me that food point you schmuck uh

1192
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 1: And so I don't need a lot during the week,

1193
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 1: but I try to have a nice, hearty meal on

1194
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 1: the weekend at least, you know what I'm watching or

1195
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 1: looking out on Instagram. It's nothing that's uh always say

1196
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 1: platonic between two people. It is all food porn. Yeah,

1197
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 1: it's a lot of and this stuff stuff really good,

1198
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: but you never actually want to go to any of

1199
01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 1: those restaurants. So it's you know, they're probably all over.

1200
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 1: Now are the Are the Bend Mallard chicken fingers actually legit?

1201
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 1: Are they good? They are really good? Yes, yes, No.

1202
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 1: If you go to Kansas City at any point, you've

1203
01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:59,919
Speaker 1: got to do it. It's it's in the Kansas City area.

1204
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 1: The chicken fingers are all right. We'll let me tell

1205
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 1: you some guests. Gun all the food dishes that bear

1206
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 1: my name, and there aren't very many, but these food

1207
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: dishes that are part of the Mallard brand are wonderful.

1208
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 1: All they are. I mean the the Mallard chicken fingers,

1209
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 1: which have been at three different restaurants, three different restaurants

1210
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 1: in Kansas City, and the price has gone up because

1211
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 1: they're so damn popular there. They're so they're so amazing.

1212
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 1: People love that and they can't get enough. And we

1213
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 1: had the Mallard Fowler, which is at the I think

1214
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 1: I've told you this before. I think we talked about

1215
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 1: this in the original podcast. But the Mallard Fowler is

1216
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: available in a strip club, the Ballet Yeah, in Lawrence,

1217
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 1: Kansas and uh yeah, and the guy, the guy that

1218
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 1: put it together, Uh, he is a big fan of

1219
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 1: the show. He doesn't live in Lawrence. He drives at

1220
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 1: night after the show and he's a big fan and

1221
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: he wanted to honor us and all that and so,

1222
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 1: uh yeah, it was, it was. It was pretty cool.

1223
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 1: You know, you need something in the UK, I feel

1224
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 1: because you have stuff in the United States. But I

1225
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 1: think Terry is in the UK one of your listeners. Yeah,

1226
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 1: that would be cool, man, That would that would really

1227
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 1: inspire me to go to the UK to go to

1228
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 1: the restaurant because I've I've i gotta get to the

1229
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:23,840
Speaker 1: place that there's I think it's where it for. I

1230
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 1: used to have a pizza named after me in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

1231
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 1: But he do not believe that still exists. I believe

1232
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 1: that items off the table. We had some some big

1233
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:34,680
Speaker 1: super fans and Syracuse. The one that started this was

1234
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 1: a restaurant in Syracuse that had the uh had a

1235
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 1: sandwich that was named after us and it was great

1236
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 1: and uh that that was awesome back in the old days.

1237
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 1: But now we have the at the Flamingo. I'll give

1238
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 1: you the list here Gascon. It's the famous Flamingo Club

1239
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 1: in Lawrence, Kansas. It's called called the Bird by the

1240
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:58,560
Speaker 1: locals there. And they have the Mallard Fowler. It's a

1241
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 1: mouth watering chicken sandwich. It's it's absolutely great. I believe

1242
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:05,400
Speaker 1: the reason that Kansas has had such great basketball teams

1243
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 1: over the years is because of the Mallard Fowler. I

1244
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 1: believe that to be true. Uh. And then we also

1245
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 1: have in Denver, which you you're a big Bronco guy,

1246
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: so when you go to a Bronco game next time,

1247
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 1: we have the uh the the wonderful restaurant in Denver,

1248
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 1: the sports Book Bar and Grill in Denver, and they've

1249
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 1: got the Mallard's breaded chicken sandwich, which is hand battered,

1250
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 1: delicious breast of chicken tossed in. They put that Frank's

1251
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 1: red sauce on it. And now I they have the

1252
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 1: lettuce in the tomato and the cheddar cheese. I choose

1253
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 1: no tomato, no lettuce. I don't okay with the cheddar cheese.

1254
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 1: And uh, and here's a fun fact about that gascon

1255
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 1: in a Denver Bronco player Denver Bronco player was arrested

1256
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 1: outside and released from the Broncos practice squad because he

1257
01:03:57,160 --> 01:04:00,040
Speaker 1: got hammered at the brookside of Bar and Grill and

1258
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:02,520
Speaker 1: was like running from the police and hiding in mulch

1259
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:06,439
Speaker 1: outside the sports book Bar and Grill there. And there's

1260
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:09,680
Speaker 1: two locations there. There's one in Greenwood Village, Colorado, and

1261
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 1: there's another one, so there's two different locations. And then

1262
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 1: then the we had the landing Eatey and Public Liberty, Missouri.

1263
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 1: That's the one with the chicken finger. Yeah. I twittered

1264
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 1: at them to actually disband that food item. I remember

1265
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 1: that two years ago. So you don't you have food dishes,

1266
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 1: but you don't have a drink yet. You need a cocktail,

1267
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 1: whether it's beer or a mixed drink. At least that

1268
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 1: would be good. I I like that and it would

1269
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 1: be nice if you know, we we need every region

1270
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 1: of We have a lot. We're very big in the

1271
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:41,040
Speaker 1: mountain and the the like the Kansas City, Missouri area

1272
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 1: that it were very big, but we'd like to expand

1273
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's a whole mallard food brand on

1274
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:47,720
Speaker 1: the East Coast. I mentioned we had the guy in

1275
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:52,240
Speaker 1: Syracuse Vetos Pizza and Seafood, which was right near the

1276
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 1: Carrier Dome there in Syracuse, and they had the mal

1277
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:58,600
Speaker 1: Zone which was this that was I forgot the name,

1278
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 1: but it was the mal Zone that they named after

1279
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 1: like a cow zone, but it's the mal Zone. And

1280
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 1: uh it was. It was a good, good deal. People

1281
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 1: love that man. That was popular. But they sold the

1282
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 1: restaurant and the new owners didn't know who the hell

1283
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: I was. They got rid of it and they But

1284
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 1: but usually what I've learned from people and then we

1285
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 1: got a lot of a lot of guys and ladies

1286
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 1: or whatever that listen to the show that earned the

1287
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:24,880
Speaker 1: restaurant business the culinary business. And I've learned that one

1288
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 1: of the biggest expenses for restaurants is to change the menu.

1289
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 1: So once you get something on the menu and it

1290
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:34,680
Speaker 1: makes the menu that they give out the people in

1291
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 1: the restaurant, generally that stays on the menu for a

1292
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 1: long time because it's a pain in the ask to

1293
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 1: change it. Yeah, and usually you're hoping that that item

1294
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 1: stays in the middle of the menu, not the top,

1295
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 1: and not the bottom. You need to be right smacked

1296
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 1: out in the middle, because it's usually where the focus

1297
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:55,440
Speaker 1: and attention for customers goes right to the middle. All right,

1298
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:58,439
Speaker 1: let's do a couple more here are you this one?

1299
01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 1: We're doing study this, we'll get to it's we have

1300
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 1: We've got a lot to do still, By god, we'll

1301
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:05,439
Speaker 1: have to pick up the pace here. Uh, how about

1302
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 1: this recipe for high school popularity? How do you become

1303
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:11,640
Speaker 1: popular in high school? They've done a study. This is

1304
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:17,120
Speaker 1: Florida Atlantic University. They have they have researched this and

1305
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 1: they have concluded that the most popular teenagers in high

1306
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 1: school have two different qualities. They describe it as Macavellian

1307
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 1: like is what they say. And essentially what it is

1308
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 1: is that that teenagers that are more popular are both

1309
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 1: aggressive and manipulative when it serves their purposes. But then

1310
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 1: they quickly like their bipolar and they switch over and

1311
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 1: they're nice and lovable and agreeable. But that's every teenager,

1312
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:46,920
Speaker 1: isn't it. That's what I'm thinking, Like, this is this bullshit?

1313
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 1: Every teenagers like that right there there, the whole thing

1314
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 1: and their bodies changing and all that stuff they're going through. Uh,

1315
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, the hormones and all that. So everyone's like that.

1316
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 1: They claim it, they say they said it was like

1317
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 1: Mean Girls the movie remember that movie from like fifteen

1318
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 1: years ago? Whatever? Mean Girls? Uh, you know, I was

1319
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 1: a check flick. I didn't. I didn't check it out,

1320
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 1: didn't Were you like that? Were you like that in

1321
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:13,000
Speaker 1: high school? Popular? No? I was not popular. I was not.

1322
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 1: I was Uh no, I mean I had my group

1323
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 1: of friends and all that, but I was not I

1324
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 1: I was. I was an introvert then I was socially

1325
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 1: awkward and things like that. It was, you know, not

1326
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:28,439
Speaker 1: not my not my seed. You were like six five

1327
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 1: six six, and you're an introvert at that time. Uh yeah,

1328
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 1: oh yeah, absolutely. Last last study this how much money

1329
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: do you spend on a Halloween costume? Halloween is gonna

1330
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 1: be here before you know it. There's a new study out.

1331
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 1: Take a guest guest on how much did the average

1332
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:48,320
Speaker 1: Americans spend on a Halloween costume? Um, okay, I will say,

1333
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:51,480
Speaker 1: because you said average American, I will say sixty dollars.

1334
01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 1: But one stipulation, I will say females spend double the

1335
01:07:55,400 --> 01:08:00,280
Speaker 1: amount that males do. Yeah, well, you went too high.

1336
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 1: You went too high. It's because you gotta remember, some

1337
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:05,320
Speaker 1: people have spend nothing, so the the averages though, you've

1338
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:07,000
Speaker 1: got people that spend a lot, and people have spending

1339
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 1: the average costumes thirty one. The people's that you get

1340
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:14,920
Speaker 1: like a mask for that, some makeup for something like that.

1341
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 1: Guys can do like adjacent mask where a goalie mask

1342
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 1: and that's it. Yeah, fright of the thirteen whatever, Freddy Cougar, Yeah, easy,

01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 1: pas here right, all right, moving on, in the bag.

1344
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 1: It's in the bag. These are actual emails. We won't

1345
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:29,000
Speaker 1: do too many of these because they suck. I will

1346
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 1: do a few of these. One was the live this one, David,

1347
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:34,000
Speaker 1: When was the last time you went bowling? I think

1348
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:36,080
Speaker 1: we were asked this on the radio show. I don't know,

1349
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 1: maybe this was a repeat. I I've gone bowling maybe

1350
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 1: once in the past twenty years, maybe twice. I had

1351
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:49,120
Speaker 1: a good time. I love that bowling is the number

1352
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 1: one participation sport, and more people participate in bowling than

1353
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:56,240
Speaker 1: any other sport. Uh, what you big bowling? That's the

1354
01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 1: thing we could do that we could get the guys

1355
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,639
Speaker 1: together and go bowling. Instead of eating food, we could

1356
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 1: just eat at the bowling down. You know bowling. I

1357
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 1: went bowling three weeks ago. Three weeks ago, we got

1358
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:09,720
Speaker 1: a date or something. No, by, I did go I

1359
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:12,720
Speaker 1: want with some some friends and uhyeah, it was a

1360
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 1: random night out and nothing else to do. So yeah,

1361
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 1: what Chris says, can you do a deep dive on Marcel? No, Chris,

1362
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean there's not much. There's not much to Marcel.

1363
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 1: He's a very basic person. He he thinks he is

1364
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:28,880
Speaker 1: breaking news on our show. I love that. I love

1365
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 1: with Marcel because he doesn't listen all he calls up.

1366
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 1: He wakes up and calls the show the last hour.

1367
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 1: But you encourage it, and that's what makes it so bad. No,

1368
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 1: I love that in Marcel's head he is Walter Cronkite

1369
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 1: before the Internet, you know what I mean. Like he

1370
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 1: is breaking news and it's great. He's sitting in you know,

1371
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:54,719
Speaker 1: in an apartment in a bad part of Brooklyn, eating

1372
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:58,680
Speaker 1: oodles and noodles from Marcel. But for him this is

1373
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 1: like the highlight. He is a national star on the radio,

1374
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 1: and I feel good. I feel good because, well, it

1375
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,479
Speaker 1: is terrible radio most of the time. I get a

1376
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:10,160
Speaker 1: kick out of I think it's funny that he's so

1377
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 1: into these stories that he gives and the food picks thing.

1378
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 1: He didn't even realize we're goofing on him the food picks.

1379
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:20,599
Speaker 1: That's that's great. And then his player of the Week

1380
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:23,719
Speaker 1: or Player of the night when Marcela does that. Really,

1381
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 1: the main reason we have him do that is because

1382
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 1: he'll mispronounce names, but lately he's just been saying names

1383
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 1: he knows how to pronounce, which isn't very good. But

1384
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 1: he he butchered Kauai Leonard and Pascal uh and those

1385
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 1: guys during the NBA Finals. It was great. Um, what's

1386
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 1: like John? Why is Blair known as whoopee Pie Blair? Well, uh,

1387
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:49,719
Speaker 1: we were originally gonna call him the Blair Witch Project,

1388
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 1: but he was offended by that, and so he originally

1389
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 1: called the show from l a from Orange County. He

1390
01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 1: moved to Maine several years back. And what is main

1391
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:03,080
Speaker 1: known for gascon? What is Maine known? Not a damn thing.

1392
01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:07,679
Speaker 1: That's that's incorrect. It is known for the whoopie pie.

1393
01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:13,280
Speaker 1: The whoopie pie is associated with me, and so that

1394
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:16,160
Speaker 1: is why we do the whoopie pie Blair. It's one

1395
01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:18,840
Speaker 1: of the foods. It's kind of in that region. Is known,

1396
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:21,800
Speaker 1: you know the main whoopie pie and so there you go,

1397
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 1: simple enough? Uh Ray says, have you been watching Ken

1398
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 1: Burns country documentary on PBS its musty TV? Uh? Ray, No,

1399
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 1: I have not. I would like to the problem is

1400
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:38,240
Speaker 1: I I can't schedule to watch it at the times

1401
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:41,080
Speaker 1: it's on because I'm working and watching games or whatever.

1402
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 1: Um And I tried to. I had my wife on

1403
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 1: the hunt for this gast Gone because I heard. I

1404
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:48,680
Speaker 1: love good documentaries and I want to watch it, but

1405
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:51,760
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't watch it on demand. I don't

1406
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:53,960
Speaker 1: believe there's a way without paying uh you know, a

1407
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 1: certain amount. I can't watch it like PBS. I feel

1408
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:58,120
Speaker 1: like you shouldn't have to pay for PBS s you know.

1409
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:01,800
Speaker 1: Uh And but but yeah, I'd like to watch it

1410
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:04,000
Speaker 1: if it's available, if somebody knows a link, If it's

1411
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:06,439
Speaker 1: on YouTube, somebody put it on there. If it's available

1412
01:12:06,479 --> 01:12:08,960
Speaker 1: somewhere else, I would love to watch it. Uh. I

1413
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,280
Speaker 1: think it was Looney that told me he was watching it.

1414
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 1: He said how great it is, and there's a lot

1415
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 1: of radio reference. I'm not I'm not a huge country

1416
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:17,760
Speaker 1: music I love Johnny Cash, but I feel like he's

1417
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:21,840
Speaker 1: a crossover. Um, but I would I would check that out.

1418
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:23,600
Speaker 1: Have you seen any of that? I have not. No.

1419
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 1: In fact, the last documentary I did see was the

1420
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:28,679
Speaker 1: one that you referred me to. Wasn't Getting Roger Scott

1421
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:34,160
Speaker 1: Roger Scott Roger Stone. Yeah, Yeah, that's good. I think

1422
01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 1: it was going That was a well made document was

1423
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:39,880
Speaker 1: was fire. He's he's going to jail probably right now

1424
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 1: he's he's he's going broke. I know that all is

1425
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 1: legal costs that are mounting up, but it was a

1426
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 1: really good documentary. One of the great characters and politics

1427
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:53,000
Speaker 1: in the history of the United States. Right, So it's

1428
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:55,879
Speaker 1: grab bag. These are actual questions by actual listeners like yourself.

1429
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 1: What does weed Man have to apologize for? All? Right?

1430
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 1: First of all, I'd say just being weed Man and

1431
01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 1: being a beggar and all that stuff. He should have

1432
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:06,559
Speaker 1: to apologist for that, because it's you know, he's he's

1433
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 1: trying to hit up and panhandle so many of my

1434
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:15,640
Speaker 1: my core p one people, so that's annoying. But the

1435
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 1: second thing is that he had a he had a

1436
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:21,240
Speaker 1: hissy fit because he was panhandling on the internet and

1437
01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:23,160
Speaker 1: some one of our our our friends, I think she

1438
01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:25,920
Speaker 1: was in Syracuse one a very nice woman, big fan

1439
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 1: of the show, and she she was gonna send weed

1440
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:30,400
Speaker 1: Man some money, and she announced it on Twitter that

1441
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:33,160
Speaker 1: she was gonna PayPal weed Man some money. So I

1442
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 1: told her not to do it because I don't know,

1443
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:37,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to encourage this activity, right,

1444
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:40,599
Speaker 1: I don't want to encourage his idiot. And so he

1445
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 1: got all upset. And then he read on the internet

1446
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:46,080
Speaker 1: that I was worth like three million dollars or some

1447
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:49,400
Speaker 1: some crap like that, which is total bullshit. And uh,

1448
01:13:49,439 --> 01:13:51,800
Speaker 1: he read that on the internet, and then he he

1449
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:55,080
Speaker 1: made all these derogatory like and I'm I'm fine with

1450
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:59,120
Speaker 1: derogatory comments, but he crossed the line, even for my sensibilities,

1451
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,559
Speaker 1: and I'm pretty open to this stuff. And uh, and

1452
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:04,640
Speaker 1: so he has to apologize. And if he doesn't apologize,

1453
01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:07,800
Speaker 1: he's not welcome back. And it seems like he's not

1454
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:10,360
Speaker 1: coming back. He's called a couple of times, but he

1455
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:14,160
Speaker 1: has been unable to. He's so prideful that he cannot

1456
01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 1: handle the scrutiny that we're giving him. So but he

1457
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:18,280
Speaker 1: does have to apologize for they the comments he made

1458
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:20,639
Speaker 1: on social media and all that stuff. So good riddance,

1459
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:26,040
Speaker 1: Ozzy Momentum writes in this is one of our international listeners.

1460
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:28,920
Speaker 1: He writes, and he says, out of the following between

1461
01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:33,599
Speaker 1: Gascon and Ben, please let us know if you could

1462
01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:36,200
Speaker 1: please who. I guess who would win this, I think

1463
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:40,600
Speaker 1: is what he's asking. An arm wrestling contest, an archery tournament,

1464
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:47,080
Speaker 1: a mini golf match, tequila shooter drink off, and a

1465
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 1: hundred meter sprint. Now I know I would kill you

1466
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:54,000
Speaker 1: at miniature golf, you have no chance. I think I

1467
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:58,280
Speaker 1: would be pretty good at archery. Uh, you're an alcoholic,

1468
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:00,360
Speaker 1: so you'd win the to the to key of things.

1469
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 1: That's not sure. You've got like the andre the giant

1470
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:05,360
Speaker 1: advantage where you can drink more than I can just

1471
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:11,439
Speaker 1: because of body arm wrestling. I don't know. You seem

1472
01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:13,400
Speaker 1: like a meathead like you work out a lot, so

1473
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 1: I were. I work out, but I do more cardio.

1474
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:18,240
Speaker 1: I don't do the weights as much so, but you're

1475
01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm left handed, you're right handed, and I have a

1476
01:15:21,439 --> 01:15:24,439
Speaker 1: surgically repaired right rotator cuffs, so you probably have the

1477
01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:26,519
Speaker 1: advantage of you asked on that that'd be good ud

1478
01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:29,680
Speaker 1: sprint boy, If you can't beat me, your pathetic. So

1479
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 1: I can probably do that back where it's backpedaling. That's fine.

1480
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:35,840
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. Bobby right City says, can

1481
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:40,639
Speaker 1: you please pick college spreads? Uh? Maybe in the second

1482
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:43,639
Speaker 1: hour like a Benny versus the Penny of the college edition.

1483
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:45,800
Speaker 1: So I was gonna ask you about this, and I

1484
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 1: had an idea of what we should do or could do.

1485
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:51,160
Speaker 1: Is that starting next week as we should do a

1486
01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:55,240
Speaker 1: quick uh promo video for Benny versus the Penny, but

1487
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 1: you provide a college pick one college pick, we do

1488
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:01,160
Speaker 1: it for video form only, and then we attach it

1489
01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:05,360
Speaker 1: to your Twitter handle, so like the handicap e college. Yeah,

1490
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:07,439
Speaker 1: I maybe we could mess around with that. I mean,

1491
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 1: usually there's three or four big college games on a weekend.

1492
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:14,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes there's only one. Let's do one for Fox. Then

1493
01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:17,880
Speaker 1: we'll do the Fox because Big Noon usually celebrates one

1494
01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:20,920
Speaker 1: game that happens at twelve or one o'clock Pacific. We

1495
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:22,439
Speaker 1: could do that one game. Hopefully want to have the

1496
01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 1: n C double a that writes us season assist letter.

1497
01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:30,840
Speaker 1: But we'll try to overcome that. Yeah, exactly, all right? Uh?

1498
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:35,599
Speaker 1: That what else? Valls fan Jimmy says, I'm adding about

1499
01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:39,600
Speaker 1: ten people at work the graveyard shift. He says, I

1500
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:43,479
Speaker 1: got half of the third shift listening to the to

1501
01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 1: the show. Well, thank you, Jimmy. I appreciate that. That

1502
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:49,519
Speaker 1: that's the that's the best kind of advertising. You're gonna have,

1503
01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 1: the word of mouth advertising getting people in us. All right,

1504
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 1: tied it out for don't stick to sports. These are

1505
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:56,000
Speaker 1: stories that David gast John found that have nothing to

1506
01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:58,240
Speaker 1: do with sports, pretty much like the entire podcast. So

1507
01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:00,240
Speaker 1: give me a couple of these stories, guest gon, we'll

1508
01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:01,800
Speaker 1: put the baby to bed. Here we go. I didn't

1509
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:03,960
Speaker 1: realize there was an agency for this, but here we go.

1510
01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:06,320
Speaker 1: When not to get your hands dirty if you are

1511
01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 1: a cop. Now there's a designated agency that certifies and

1512
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:13,439
Speaker 1: disciplines all police officers in Utah, and they've taken another

1513
01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:19,440
Speaker 1: step towards that by banning sexting and masturbation while on duty.

1514
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 1: You heard that right then, So now I don't know

1515
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 1: what you do during the advertising breaks, but I don't

1516
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:27,639
Speaker 1: ever recall like the desire to shake loose for a bit. Anyways,

1517
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:31,639
Speaker 1: The Utah Peace Officer Standards and Training Council reportedly found

1518
01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:35,360
Speaker 1: that there weren't any rules explicitly in place for forbidding

1519
01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 1: this practice. So naturally they provide some guidelines where they

1520
01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:42,840
Speaker 1: expanded to include the forbidding of an officer in uniform

1521
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:47,880
Speaker 1: to send sexually explicit pictures. Thank you very much. Hutah.

1522
01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 1: So you're more familiar with, like the inner workings of police,

1523
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:55,000
Speaker 1: is there a lot of Is masturbation a big problem

1524
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:56,599
Speaker 1: with the police? I don't know. I'm not a police

1525
01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:59,960
Speaker 1: off joys masturbation, but they do it while there. It worked,

1526
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:02,559
Speaker 1: you know, in a squad car. People got a thing

1527
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:05,479
Speaker 1: for the uniform. Do you want to see a mag light?

1528
01:18:06,200 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 1: I've read stories before that there's some women, like a

1529
01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:14,200
Speaker 1: certain percentage of women like it's on their bucket list too,

1530
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:20,439
Speaker 1: stoop a police officer, like at work, like while they're

1531
01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:24,120
Speaker 1: in uniform, Like there's some And so I don't think

1532
01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:26,719
Speaker 1: that that anyone in radio field, Like there's no group

1533
01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:28,760
Speaker 1: of like female groupies that want to do that while

1534
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:31,240
Speaker 1: you're in radio. I don't think maybe not, maybe it's

1535
01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:36,080
Speaker 1: like rock radio, but but yeah, that's uh wild. Well,

1536
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:38,719
Speaker 1: I'm happy you brought that up because that actually leads

1537
01:18:38,760 --> 01:18:41,840
Speaker 1: me to, uh tell my next story. We always have

1538
01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:47,479
Speaker 1: different stories about relationships, broken, repaired, whatever, We're gonna go

1539
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:50,639
Speaker 1: on that beaten path again. A twenty six year old

1540
01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:52,799
Speaker 1: woman fell in love at her wedding all over again.

1541
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:57,559
Speaker 1: Great story, right, Yeah, wrong, Ben, This one fell in

1542
01:18:57,640 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 1: love with a forty nine year old d J. It

1543
01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 1: was her DJ. The woman was married for less than

1544
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:06,519
Speaker 1: a year, but felt neglected and unhappy when she randomly

1545
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 1: bumped into the DJ again. The two started getting together, chatting, texting,

1546
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:14,040
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. Eventually they fell in love and

1547
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:17,160
Speaker 1: they got married. How about that? So she's twenty six

1548
01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:22,160
Speaker 1: and he's right? All right? So so I don't know

1549
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:25,280
Speaker 1: anything about these people, have no idea. But where where

1550
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:28,360
Speaker 1: did this happen? Where was this in the UK? I

1551
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:30,840
Speaker 1: was in the UK? Yeah all right, I don't know.

1552
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 1: I thought I thought this happened to the U S.

1553
01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:36,920
Speaker 1: But what whatever, Mike whoever ended up getting the more

1554
01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:41,320
Speaker 1: good for that person, because I mean, this woman is crazy, right,

1555
01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:43,280
Speaker 1: I mean, what are you doing? Well, it's huge because

1556
01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:45,800
Speaker 1: you booked the job and then you booked the chick. Yeah,

1557
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:47,920
Speaker 1: I mean for the for the DJ. From his perspective,

1558
01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a major score. The guys almost

1559
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:52,280
Speaker 1: fifty years old, he's with the twenty six year old

1560
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:54,760
Speaker 1: I mean that, you know, that's a that's wild man. Well,

1561
01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:57,000
Speaker 1: he actually had a way to break her down because

1562
01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 1: he had explained to her when they started getting together

1563
01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:01,759
Speaker 1: that he had just end day twenty six year long marriage.

1564
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:04,240
Speaker 1: So he was able to break down her walls, if

1565
01:20:04,240 --> 01:20:08,360
Speaker 1: you will, and then eventually win the day. Oh yeah, Well,

1566
01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:12,240
Speaker 1: you could become a wedding DJ guest. Find a woman.

1567
01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:14,200
Speaker 1: That way, you can go out and perform at weddings.

1568
01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:17,280
Speaker 1: I guess you could do that, right, Just I'm Ben Mellot,

1569
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:21,200
Speaker 1: talk show host right here on Fox Sports Radio. We

1570
01:20:21,240 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 1: don't have to say that. I mean I could do

1571
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:25,240
Speaker 1: like bar mitz vis and birthdays and stuff. You could

1572
01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:26,800
Speaker 1: do that, but then I'd have to be in front

1573
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:29,599
Speaker 1: of people and would be awkward. For Yeah, we'll speaking

1574
01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:32,320
Speaker 1: of awkward. How about this? This would be perfect for California,

1575
01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:35,160
Speaker 1: But I'm sure we'll get some sensitive people objecting this.

1576
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:39,560
Speaker 1: A South Korean mayor tried sending a message to environmental campaigners.

1577
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:44,759
Speaker 1: Oh I saw this. He actually ordered dumping of collected

1578
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:48,120
Speaker 1: trash onto a local beach. So what he basically did

1579
01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:52,360
Speaker 1: was he ordered truck loads of trash and hundreds of volunteers.

1580
01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:54,400
Speaker 1: The next day, how to pick it up as part

1581
01:20:54,439 --> 01:20:59,040
Speaker 1: of an international coastal cleanup day. Yeah, so essentially, the

1582
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 1: way I saw this story is that the beach was clean.

1583
01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:05,400
Speaker 1: There was no trash on the bleach, the beach, but

1584
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:08,040
Speaker 1: they were. But they were doing an environmental day where

1585
01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:10,559
Speaker 1: they had a beach clean up. So you can't have

1586
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:12,640
Speaker 1: a beach clean up if there's no trash on the

1587
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:14,559
Speaker 1: beach to clean up, right, other one, what are you doing?

1588
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 1: Bunch of idiots? So so he called in the dump trucks,

1589
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:28,439
Speaker 1: the poor, trash, all of it. I saw that before.

1590
01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 1: This is an elected official, right, this is this is

1591
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:38,080
Speaker 1: a dumb dumb what a what a freaking moron? I mean,

1592
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:42,000
Speaker 1: my goodness, you're talking about us the word dingle berry,

1593
01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:45,000
Speaker 1: that is dingle berry. But the fact that I got

1594
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:48,639
Speaker 1: a hundred volunteers to actually participate in this is another thing. Yeah,

1595
01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:52,320
Speaker 1: I mean, what a bunch of ignoramus is there? I

1596
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:55,639
Speaker 1: mean that is that is a shrewd level of dumbness,

1597
01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:58,760
Speaker 1: is what that is? It is? Now, how abouch? How

1598
01:21:58,760 --> 01:22:00,960
Speaker 1: about this one? I I hate flying, but I love

1599
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,479
Speaker 1: to travel. Now I know you hate flying and you

1600
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:05,040
Speaker 1: hate getting out of the the house, So this won't really

1601
01:22:05,080 --> 01:22:07,479
Speaker 1: apply to you, you know, I I don't. I I

1602
01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:11,120
Speaker 1: like going places, but the actual process of traveling and

1603
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:13,320
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of the planes are not designed

1604
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:15,760
Speaker 1: for people like me. They're not. They're designed for little people. Yeah,

1605
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:18,040
Speaker 1: but you really hate being around people anyway. So if

1606
01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:20,240
Speaker 1: I was, if I was a dwarf, I would love

1607
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:23,040
Speaker 1: flying because I would fit in every every aisle. It

1608
01:22:23,040 --> 01:22:25,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't matter at all. But I'm not. I'm I'm oversized,

1609
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:28,840
Speaker 1: lug fair enough now anyways, Japan Airlines is helping out

1610
01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:30,960
Speaker 1: passengers with a roadmap. I don't know if you've heard

1611
01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:33,320
Speaker 1: about this, but the airline has created a new tool

1612
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:38,040
Speaker 1: that lets passengers avoid infants when they book a seat. Now,

1613
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:40,759
Speaker 1: the website will display passengers with children that are between

1614
01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:43,800
Speaker 1: the ages of eight days and two years old on

1615
01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:46,519
Speaker 1: an icon, so you can know exactly who to avoid

1616
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:48,760
Speaker 1: and who to sit next to you. They only catch though,

1617
01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:51,639
Speaker 1: as this icon shows up. If you book a flight

1618
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:54,479
Speaker 1: on their website, you can't go to a third party

1619
01:22:54,880 --> 01:22:58,360
Speaker 1: and identify the children on the flight, so you can't

1620
01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:00,800
Speaker 1: save money on the You have to pay more a

1621
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:03,759
Speaker 1: premium because they charge more on the airline websites. Usually

1622
01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:07,200
Speaker 1: all right. Couple of things. Hey, this sounds is one

1623
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:09,400
Speaker 1: of these things in life that sounds great in theory.

1624
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:12,840
Speaker 1: It's kind of like, you know, you date a beautiful

1625
01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:15,439
Speaker 1: woman and then you feel like you realize that she's

1626
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:18,360
Speaker 1: she's a basket case. You know, it sounds on the

1627
01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:20,600
Speaker 1: outside she looks good, but the her, you know, she

1628
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:23,439
Speaker 1: all messed up or whatever anyway on the inside, So

1629
01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:25,639
Speaker 1: it sounds good in theory. I get that. Number two,

1630
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:29,160
Speaker 1: it's my experience with kids on planes, Like the main

1631
01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:31,479
Speaker 1: reason you don't want to be near a child because

1632
01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:34,519
Speaker 1: they're gonna gonna cry and whatnot on the plane and

1633
01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:37,120
Speaker 1: disrupt your your flight. But to me, it doesn't matter

1634
01:23:37,120 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 1: whether you're in there. You might not be next to

1635
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:42,120
Speaker 1: the infant, but if they're crying on a in a

1636
01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 1: tube in the sky, and if they're loud enough, it's

1637
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:47,920
Speaker 1: going to affect the entire plane, So it doesn't really

1638
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this, what's the what's the end game?

1639
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:51,640
Speaker 1: What's the accomplishment on this? And you know you know

1640
01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:53,519
Speaker 1: what I mean. I mean, it's like you're you're not

1641
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:56,600
Speaker 1: You're trying to avoid the noise, but you can't avoid it.

1642
01:23:56,640 --> 01:24:00,000
Speaker 1: You are stuck in a traveling tube in the sky,

1643
01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:02,000
Speaker 1: you know, all the noise you're gonna hear it. Yeah,

1644
01:24:02,040 --> 01:24:03,840
Speaker 1: I mean there's only two things I want to avoid

1645
01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:05,840
Speaker 1: when I'm on a big flight going a long ways.

1646
01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:09,799
Speaker 1: That is the the uh laboratories and the emergency exits.

1647
01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:13,519
Speaker 1: Because the emergency exits you don't have that that television

1648
01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:15,960
Speaker 1: that's in front of you. And the laboratory the door

1649
01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:18,080
Speaker 1: opens up right where your seat is. Actually had that

1650
01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:19,640
Speaker 1: happened to me when I went to Europe over the

1651
01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 1: summertime and I was on a Virgin Atlantic flight. Flight

1652
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:25,479
Speaker 1: was packed and I had nowhere else to go, so

1653
01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:27,839
Speaker 1: I was I'll shoot out of luck for ten hours.

1654
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:30,000
Speaker 1: So that's a brutal spot to be in. Yeah, my

1655
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 1: my tips on traveling. And I did travel for years,

1656
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:34,960
Speaker 1: like I would go back to the East Coast a lot,

1657
01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 1: did that TV thing for for about a year, which

1658
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:40,320
Speaker 1: every month and then uh, just my other travels. But

1659
01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:44,040
Speaker 1: I I like the exit row because you have more

1660
01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:46,080
Speaker 1: leg room. Yeah, that's like one of the special for me.

1661
01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:48,599
Speaker 1: The extra row is not a problem. And I don't

1662
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:52,000
Speaker 1: eat on planes. I don't because I don't want to

1663
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:54,479
Speaker 1: have to use the bathroom. I don't want to have

1664
01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:56,639
Speaker 1: to go to the laboratory. I try not to drink

1665
01:24:56,720 --> 01:24:59,479
Speaker 1: that much until we get late into the flight, because

1666
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 1: then I know that I can make it to the

1667
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:05,320
Speaker 1: airport and I can usually commode at the airport and

1668
01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:08,639
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But it, you know, it's the other

1669
01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:11,160
Speaker 1: than that. I mean, it's not me. I don't eat

1670
01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:13,439
Speaker 1: the I don't pay for it. I don't pay for

1671
01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:15,920
Speaker 1: the add ons. Some people pay for the ad or

1672
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:17,840
Speaker 1: I don't pay for the adam all right, Betty, last one.

1673
01:25:17,880 --> 01:25:20,800
Speaker 1: The University of Canterbury left his stinke recently and it's

1674
01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:24,439
Speaker 1: not good for anyone involved. Two months, nothing was realized

1675
01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:28,880
Speaker 1: until campus police in christ Church, New Zealand went into

1676
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:32,439
Speaker 1: a dorm room and it discovered a body. It was

1677
01:25:32,479 --> 01:25:35,800
Speaker 1: the body of a first year student who had died. Now,

1678
01:25:35,960 --> 01:25:39,160
Speaker 1: the body had not been discovered until then, after two months.

1679
01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:42,599
Speaker 1: It had been decomposing in there for sixty days before

1680
01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:45,880
Speaker 1: anyone had discovered him. The body had been untouched for

1681
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:47,479
Speaker 1: such a long period of time that they had to

1682
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:50,880
Speaker 1: bring in forensic officers to come in and take fingerprints,

1683
01:25:51,439 --> 01:25:54,000
Speaker 1: d n A and also collect dental records to identify

1684
01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:58,519
Speaker 1: the kid. This is this is amazing to me. So

1685
01:25:58,560 --> 01:26:02,560
Speaker 1: the flesh is row, the guy dies, and then nobody

1686
01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 1: like he has no friends how I mean no friends? No,

1687
01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 1: I guess I think I read his family was trying

1688
01:26:10,439 --> 01:26:12,080
Speaker 1: to get ahold of him, but they couldn't get ahold

1689
01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:13,519
Speaker 1: of him. He was far away from where he grew

1690
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:17,760
Speaker 1: up or whatever. And the only the only ounce of

1691
01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:20,880
Speaker 1: of observation from students was that they had gone on

1692
01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:23,559
Speaker 1: vacation for two weeks and came back and they still

1693
01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:25,360
Speaker 1: couldn't find him or they didn't know where he was at.

1694
01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:28,479
Speaker 1: But two weeks, that's nothing compared to eight weeks, right. Well.

1695
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:31,559
Speaker 1: The other thing, the other thing too, is like don't

1696
01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:35,120
Speaker 1: you get mail? Isn't usually the post office if you're

1697
01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:37,240
Speaker 1: not collecting your mail or things like that, or you're

1698
01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:39,880
Speaker 1: not playing your bills, you know what I mean? Like

1699
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:41,639
Speaker 1: nothing that's not on a dorm though, And the dorm

1700
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:45,160
Speaker 1: usually have those, uh the mailboxes when you enter the

1701
01:26:45,320 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 1: dorm facilities, so you just load your mail up in there.

1702
01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:49,680
Speaker 1: They put it in for you and pull it out

1703
01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:53,600
Speaker 1: whenever you get a chance, and never dorm. So but

1704
01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:56,479
Speaker 1: I know that, but I have heard stories like if

1705
01:26:56,960 --> 01:27:00,320
Speaker 1: sometimes the postal employees like that that are hurt, like

1706
01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:03,679
Speaker 1: if if someone's not picking up their mail, they will

1707
01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:06,280
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, they'll they'll try to knock on the door.

1708
01:27:06,320 --> 01:27:08,240
Speaker 1: They might even do a wellness check, call for a

1709
01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:11,120
Speaker 1: wellness check, to try to that's brutal man, that's you

1710
01:27:11,240 --> 01:27:13,559
Speaker 1: kind of nobody to look after what that's sad man.

1711
01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:16,639
Speaker 1: How does that happen in a it's not a third
