30
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: and law and order and things like, Yeah, I didn't.

31
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: I do acknowledge that needs to be some retuning, some refining,

32
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: some recalibrating of of law enforcement practices. But nevertheless, uh yeah,

33
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: I'm not down for any kind of anarchy or any

34
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: other bullshit that's happening in our world right now. Understandable,

35
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: understand So this is a mail bag. Yes, we haven't

36
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: done a mail bag in a while. We have not

37
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: answered the people's questions. There probably is not a lot

38
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: of people whining, complaining, bitching to an any other bullshit

39
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: that they do. So I'm happy about that. Oh no, no, no, no,

40
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: there are plenty of people complaining and whining and all

41
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: of that. Yes, that never ends. Did I'm a pilot,

42
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: send you a note. Yes, actually he did. Good. Let

43
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: me let me get that up. Hold on a sake,

44
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: let me get that up. We haven't heard from him

45
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: in a long time. So now he did. He said

46
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: very nice. In fact, he sent um, I believe he

47
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: sent something to that. I need to I need to

48
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: pick up my mail here. But I believe there is

49
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: something in the queue there for me and probably for you.

50
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: But I heard they moved the mail from where the

51
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: mail was. No, they didn't move the mail. Ben They

52
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: took all the mail and just put it on top

53
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: of a fucking table. He just said, go figure it out. Really,

54
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: that's all they did. Yeah, so this seemed like a

55
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: good strategy. But I shouldn't criticize. I should not criticize.

56
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem it seems right. It almost feels like

57
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: Christmas in a way, because you just have a table

58
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: that's just littered with mail and packages, and you're trying

59
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: to situate all of it and separate those from yours

60
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: and mine from his. So I'm a pilot. I don't

61
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: know how much of this he wants me to read

62
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: on the air or not, but he sounded very nice.

63
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: Note a couple of nice notes. He had a trip

64
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: to Tahiti recently, and he says he says he knew

65
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: I liked Hawaiian. I got married in Hawaiian. I love Hawaiian.

66
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: I've never been to Tahiti. And so he sent me

Speaker 1: and he sent a very nice note. I do appreciate it,

108
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,960

126
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: in a while, I go, we'll use it now. This

127
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: is from j A k. Ozzy momentum, he says, a

128
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: mail bad question. What is your favorite body of water

129
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: and its location? For example, I got married on this

130
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: awesome beach here in southwestern Australia called meal Up Beach. Clarify,

131
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: I'm not looking for riverpool beach. I'm talking about a

132
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: specific location, all right, so Ozzy momentum. For me, it

133
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: is in Kauai. When you land at the airport in Kauai,

134
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: you go north. There's only one highway there and between

135
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: the three and four mile marker there's a dirt road.

136
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: You go down the dirt road. There's a lot of potholes.

137
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: You go to the end of the dirt road. There's

138
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: a little park. You park there and there is a

139
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: deserted beach with no human beings around. And it is

140
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,679
Speaker 1: the most beautiful beach you have ever seen. Perfect weather,

141
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: the sands, wonderful, unfettered by ugly human beings for the

142
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: most part. And that is my my favorite beach. And

143
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: that's actually the beach we got married on. So when

144
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: we go to Kauai back on a vacation. We always

145
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: and we've been there a few times and hopefully go

146
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: again soon. We we always go to that spot. You

147
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: guys have never been to the Bahamas? Right? No, never

148
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: been the Bahamas. I was supposed to go. Fox Sports

149
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: Radio sent everyone to the Bahamas for the Super Bowl

150
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: years ago except me. What so, Yeah, they had that

151
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,120

Speaker 1: and they were like two other people that didn't go.

155
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: That's unreal. Yeah, I did not, did not make it

156
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: app what's your favorite body of water? I guess, and

157
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: specifically I think probably the Gulf of Mexico. My sister

158
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: and her husband and the kids, they live in Tampa Bay,

159
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: and she took me to St. Petersburg and I mean,

160
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: you know this, The sand was white and you can

161
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: see your feet when you get into the water. It

162
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: was absolutely gorgeous. There's calm and peaceful, and I know

163
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: different seasons it's hurricane season and whatnot, and uh a

164
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: little bit while down there, but yeah, it's it's absolutely gorgeous.

165
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: In that area. The thing about the beach I love,

166
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: I will. I don't usually go in the beach in

167
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: California because water is usually disgusting in l A, I

168
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: don't go in the water. Like, if I go to

169
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 1: the beach, I'll look at it, I'll walk, maybe I

170
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: put my feet in, but I won't like swim. But

171
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: if the water is clear, I mean you know what

172
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Like Hawaii, places like that. Oh it's beautiful.

173
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah. When I when I went to

174
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: to Europe a couple of years ago, there was these

175
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: little coves in Portugal where you can do cliff diving

176
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: off of and it was gorgeous. The only problem is

177
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: is that you could see to the bottom of the

178
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: you know, of the bed that you were in in

179
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: that lake or that river spot. The only problem is

180
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: you couldn't gauge your depth. So when you jumped off

181
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: these cliffs, you didn't know. I mean, we went with

182
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: guys that were professional cliff jumpers and stuff. You let

183
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: the other guy go first. Yeah, that's exactly what he did.

184
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: So he's just like, hey, you're jumping here and in

185
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: this direction, don't go that way, and don't do anything else,

186
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: and so we did just that. The water was was

187
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: obviously beautiful, cold as fuck, but it was pretty nice. Yeah, alright,

188
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: what else do we heavy here? Let's see? Uh? Any

189
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: menimny mo? Uh? This question? Who sent this one? In?

190
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: This is from Brian from Parts Unknown. He says, I

191
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: listened to the Fifth Hour, but when I asked Google

192
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: to play the last episode of the best of the

193
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: Ben Mallor Show, it always comes up the fifth Hour?

194
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: Is that right? I don't know. Uh interesting, there's no

195
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: big deal. But one time it played a song by

196
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: Michael Buble. What it seems odd to me? Kevin in

197
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: Kansas rites and he says, I teach high school English.

198
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: What were you like in high school with English? You

199
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: have a way with words, So I imagine you were

200
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: that way or did you realize that gift later on? Kevin,

201
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: much later on. I was not a good high school student.

202
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: I just kind of passed skated by in high school,

203
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: barely got out of high school. And be honest with you,

204
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: I just I was not into it. But as I've

205
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: gotten older, I have the great thing about the Internet

206
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: as you can educate yourself, which is pretty cool, and

207
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: so I've always had a passion as an adult for words.

208
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: And I pointed out in the past that all we

209
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: have in radio and audio broadcasting is words we don't

210
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: we can't show you anything we're not on camera. And

211
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: so I I learned. I've been inspired by certain people, Um,

212
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: Brian Wheeler, we've had on the podcast Wheels the voice

213
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: of the Trailblazers, a friend of mine, and he would

214
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: always use these big words. And Vince Scully would use

215
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: some words I've never heard of before watching dodging games

216
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: grown up. And but just in general, it's like, you know,

217
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: if you you you can say the same thing but

218
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: using different words and it sounds a lot better. And

219
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: in some words that I just love. They're fun to say,

220
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: like hoodwinked or bamboozled or hornswoggled, like words like that.

221
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: I love those type of words. And skullduggery not a

222
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 1: word that's regularly is. You don't hear skullduggery all that much.

223
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: But it's a fun word, and you know, you can

224
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: you can have a good time with that and all

225
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: those all those things. So but it in high school enough.

226
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: If you if you met me in high school, this

227
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: guy is an idiot. This guy's a dump dump. You know,

228
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't pay attention at all, But so and I

229
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: was trying to learn something. As far as words, I'm

230
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: always looking around trying to find new words and things

231
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: I haven't heard before. Phrases I love, uh, idioms, old

232
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: you know, proverbs, things like that, learning about those, the

233
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: history of some of those things. So it's pretty I

234
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: find it interesting. It's just happened. I've picked up. I'm

235
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: at in Elmira, New York, right city. Since is there

236
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: any tactful way to tell a receptionist coworker that their

237
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: flagelence has become an issue? It honestly smells like a

238
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: horse has ship in the entryway, which I find to

239
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: be distracting, let alone disrespectful to the rest of the staff.

240
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: And then he he says, Matt, how about an anonymous

241
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 1: letter on the desk, a bottle of beano? Uh? Any

242
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: suggestion would be appreciated, Sincerely, Matt in l Myra. All right,

243
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: So this is a tough one. You've got someone you

244
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 1: work with who stinks you have to be delicate with this.

245
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: You have to be right because you get in trouble.

246
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if they have an HR department, what

247
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: would be the move here Gascon. I think I think

248
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: you gotta lie. I think the approaches you. You lie

249
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 1: to that person and you basically say, hey, just a

250
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: heads up. I don't know what time you got here,

251
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: but I sprayed down this area, um, because it's been

252
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: kind of smells like just in this region of the

253
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: last couple of days. I don't know if you've noticed

254
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: it or not. Um, So I spread it down so

255
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: I apologize if it stinks to you, if it just

256
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: has that kind of weird uh where it's sent. And

257
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: if I spread down later, I'm gonna do that too.

258
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: So that would be year solution to the yeah you lie,

259
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: you played dumb and you make her ask the questions

260
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: of like what does it smell like? Yeah? Uh? The

261
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: one thing I will say, and we've all done this

262
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: at some point with with flagelence, you're trying to cover

263
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: it up with the spray. Yeah, it just makes it.

264
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: You still smell it. It just has a little bit

265
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,479
Speaker 1: of a sugary smell, you know what I mean? Yeah?

266
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: All right, anyway, let's see you. Who else do we

267
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: have your any meny miney mo Jack in Greensboro and

268
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: Carolina says, Hey, Ben, what is the most important piece

269
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: of advice that your father passed down to you. Well,

270
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: it's hard to summon up with just one piece of advice,

271
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: the fatherly wisdom that you pick up just being around

272
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: your dad or your mom. And uh, yeah, a lot,

273
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of interest things. My dad

274
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: had a tremendous knowledge. He was an engineer. He worked

275
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: with computers when I was a kid. But this was

276
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: before computers are com uters today. This is when computers

277
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: were the size of a football field, and so he

278
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: helped develop programs and things where computers in the early

279
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: days before before they became the things that have overwhelmed us,

280
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: uh these days. And he had interesting No, he loved

281
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: there's certain things that were just he was very passionate

282
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: about Mark Twain. He loved Mark Twain for some reason.

283
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: That was this guy, old Mark Twain quotes books about

284
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: Mark Twain, Ham Radio. Um, those are some of the things.

285
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: But I mean, as far as advice, it just kind

286
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: of like, you know, how to how to live and

287
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: be a good family guy, and be loyal and supportive

288
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: and all that. Those are things I learned from my

289
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: my father just by observing. You know, my my mom

290
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: and dad were married forever and ever and ever, and

291
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: they had, you know, they didn't a good relationship. And

292
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: also I tould I've told the story before. You know,

293
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: both my parents are now gone and growing up. I

294
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: think it's really interesting now looking at the way the

295
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: world's gone. My mom was more liberal, my dad conservative.

296
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: And they would talk about the issues of the day.

297
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: There's always something and they would duke it out and

298
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: they wouldn't agree, and but at the end of dinner

299
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: they would you hug it out. They're good. No problem

300
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: these days. So like you're at each other's next you

301
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: want to you want to kill each other. You can't

302
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: be in the same room. You can't have friends that

303
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: don't agree with your political idea. You know your political beliefs. So,

304
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: I mean, those are some of the things. Uh, Corey

305
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, is what's your favorite memory of your father? Again,

306
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: that's the tough to sum it up in one memory.

307
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: I I flashed back to some of the games. My

308
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: dad was not a huge sportsman. My mom was more

309
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: of a sportsman. But my dad knew I love sports,

310
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: and so I remember some of the games we went

311
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: to and he had gotten tickets, whether through work or

312
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: something I remember when I was a kid. The first

313
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: NFL game I went to was a RAM game and

314
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: I was playing the forty Niners and this was Joe Montana,

315
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: you know, big deal in in in Bill Walsh and

316
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: all that. And I remember I was so excited, such

317
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: a nerd as a kid, because I even at that age,

318
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: I was like, maybe I'll be a broadcast to some day.

319
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: And I saw the Madden Cruiser parked out the big

320
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: parked outside the Big A in Anaheim because Madden doesn't fly,

321
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: and he took the Madden Cruiser and it was like

322
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 1: a big deal. And I remember it was with my dad,

323
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: I went to the All Star Game. He got tickets

324
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: to the All Star Game in Anaheim in the late

325
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: eighties there, and it was funny because it was that

326
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: was a big All Star game at the time because

327
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: Bo Jackson was in the All Star Game Nike. He

328
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: had a big marketing campaign about about Bow. But we

329
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: had terrible seats, but it didn't matter. We were in

330
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: the stadium and it was a big deal. And and

331
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: my dad was more excited though, because Ronald Reagan was

332
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: at the game in the press box. He did a

333
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: couple of innings on NBC for the I think it

334
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: was NBC for the All Star Game. They brought him in.

335
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: He was no longer president at nineteen nine, but they

336
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: brought him in. And I remember how exciting that was.

337
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: And we were looking all the Secret Service people and

338
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: all that so and uh and I also remember I

339
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: was at an Angel game. They're playing the Tigers, and uh,

340
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: I was a little kid with my dad and some guy.

341
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: I tossed like a cigar cigarette thing over the upper

342
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: you know, the deck above us, and landed on my leg.

343
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 1: I was wearing shorts and burned the ship out of

344
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: my legs, right, And um, I remember my dad taking

345
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: care of me and all that stuff. So, I mean,

346
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: there's some there's a bunch of those type of things.

347
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: But I will I will miss my old man for sure.

348
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: That's a that's a tough one. Enjoy you got your

349
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: parents still. I I've I've I've found out now I've

350
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: joined a club, a club I didn't want to join.

351
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: But we're all going to join at some point if

352
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,959
Speaker 1: we're lucky. Actually, where you outlive your parents and it's uh,

353
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: that's it sucks, but it's part of life. It's part

354
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: of life. Um, Pierre in Springfield right saying he's now

355
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: here we go. He says, did your father look down

356
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: on your association with Gagon? And he says, did your

357
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: parents approved your decision to go into radio? And no,

358
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: my dad actually was impressed because Gagon's got credibility. Because

359
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 1: my dad loved the police and law enforcement, and he

360
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: actually volunteered with Ham Radio locally in the city he

361
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: lived in with the police department. He loved the police.

362
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: And so you know the fact that I could brag

363
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: that I worked with Gascon and his dad ran the

364
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: l A p D. You know, you know, it was

365
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: a big shot. That was like a big deal. So

366
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: he loved that. And uh, my parents, No, my my

367
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 1: mom the good thing. I'm my mom and dad. They

368
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: just wanted me to do something I was passionate about

369
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: and to work hard at it. And they knew the

370
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: odds were against making it in radio. But my mom

371
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: was very supportive and my dad was you know, he

372
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: went along with it. He was good, you know, give

373
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: it a shot. Um. And I remember when I was

374
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: making no money when I got hired at six ninety

375
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: in San Diego and I was a reporter and I

376
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: was making ship money. I could have worked at Jack

377
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: in the box and made more money, and I was

378
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: working everything, but I after the baseball strike in they

379
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: ended the season early. They came back and they I

380
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: covered every game Dodgers and Angels for for the following season.

381
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: They had no days off, so I was at the

382
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: ballpark every day. And I even got sick because I

383
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: was going out there so much, so I could get

384
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: sick o to baseball games. But I was like, I

385
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: had no time off. I had like, no not even

386
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: one day a week, and I was making no money.

387
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: But they were very supportive. Both my parents were very

388
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: very supportive, and they were proud of me. You know,

389
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: that's and that's all you want as a kid, right

390
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: you want your parents to be proud of you. And

391
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: you know my mom and dad, I mean they made

392
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: sure they always let me know that. Uh it was.

393
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: They were very pregnant. And you know, my mom would

394
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: listen to the overnight show. I was doing weekend overnights

395
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: and my mom, who was not in the best of health,

396
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: would stay up all night to listen to the show.

397
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 1: She would change her schedule because she wanted to. And

398
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: whenever I went and I worked some when I first

399
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: started a Fox Sports radio, I was like the swing guy.

400
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: I would fill in, you know, different different parts of

401
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: the day parts and no matter when I was on

402
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: my own, always made sure to to listen to My

403
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: dad was very supportive and um he didn't look the

404
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: one disappointment. I think he wanted me to get a

405
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: ham radio license and I didn't. I didn't end up

406
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: doing that, but he did love the fact that I

407
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: at least went into some kind of radio, so he

408
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: he appreciated that. Kevin in Rockford, Illinois rights and says

409
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: Mr Mallor and Mr Gascon David seems like he's a

410
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: He's pretty comfortable talking on the podcast and on the

411
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: radio doing updates. I think he does a good job.

412
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: Well is this your is this your? Wow? He says,

413
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: does does a good job for a West of the

414
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: four oh five situation here? Uh, he says, you both

415
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: you will think, Ben, do you think Gascon could one

416
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 1: day have his own radio show? And David, is that

417
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: the route or route you would want to go? Well? Yeah,

418
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: sure Guesscon could have a radio show. And I don't

419
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: think that's what you want to do. I think you

420
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: your dreams are play by play right, Your your goal

421
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: is to be the play by play voice of X

422
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: or Y or is he right? All right? Just to

423
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: be maybe a national guy like Kenny Albert. He does

424
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: everything he does football, basketball, hockey, boxing. I think he's

425
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: done Olympic events. To correct me if I'm wrong, I

426
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: don't know. If it's whatever, yea, yeah, surely. Yeah. So

427
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: I'd love to be on on that kind of track. Um.

428
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: I love talk radio. I just think like, personality wise,

429
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: I think the way that that we are or I

430
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: am with you on this is drastically different than how

431
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: I am on Nashville Radio. I feel like, personality wise,

432
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: I'd get fired or I'd get busted, or I'd get

433
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: reprimanded and it just wouldn't work. I like the I

434
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: like the the podcasting format allows to be a lot

435
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: more free and loose with language and how you communicate

436
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: and radio you're you're not in a box. Like That's

437
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 1: the lecture that you guys have here at Fox is

438
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: that I've never heard of management tell a personality you

439
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: can't say this or don't be like that. Like Scott

440
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: and don Or are extremely extremely um comfortable and allowing

441
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: their all to be who they are. Yeah, I mean,

442
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: we're not It's not like what was that video that

443
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: popped on the internet like at CNN where they tell

444
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: you what to say that day. You know, it's not

445
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: like that at all. We we have, uh, not totally unfettered,

446
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: but in comparison to a lot of people this, you know,

447
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: obviously they're they're very cool allowing us this. Last year.

448
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: Management's like they went to us like, listen, there's no

449
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: sports going on. We understand that we're sports radio show,

450
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: but people want to hear you know, talk radio, So

451
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: just do good radio. Whatever you talk about. There's no

452
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: sports to talk about, but just a good radio. And

453
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: it was great advice and we do appreciate that because

454
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 1: I know I have some friends at work at competitors

455
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: who did not have that freedom, that had to continue

456
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: to just only talk about sports, and they wanted to

457
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: pull their hair out and it was it was a nightmare.

458
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: But it is a daily grind. Man. You do a

459
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: daily show, guest scout it it can wear on you.

460
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: There's certain points where you're like you you don't want

461
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: to talk like I I love doing the show. Oh

462
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: and I it's my passion and I spend my entire

463
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: life dedicated to that. But there are some days I'm good,

464
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,239
Speaker 1: I got nothing to say, I got no opinion about this,

465
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: But you still gotta do the show. The show's gotta happen.

466
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: You've gotta you've got to find a way to make

467
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: it work. And and so you there's certain things you

468
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: have to do to kind of get yourself fired up

469
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: on days you're not into it. But it's like any job,

470
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: Like I think there's any job that you have just

471
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 1: gonna be days you're not into it. Even if you're

472
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: like a professional athlete playing in the NBA or the NFL,

473
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,479
Speaker 1: there's gonna sometime you're like, I really want to be here.

474
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: But you can get off on someone else's energy, like

475
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: if you're having a bad show, like Coop could do something,

476
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: or Roberto could do something, or any could say something

477
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: that that gets you in a groove or that gets

478
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: you inspired to do something else. Whereas if you're working

479
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: like solo, if you're you know, if it's just you

480
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: and a microphone, you know, if there's a day that

481
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: you're flat, then you're dead man walking. Yeah, like I did,

482
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 1: the Boston shows I did was totally solo. They had

483
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: no no one right along as a support staff. And yeah,

484
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: I remember the one night I was on on EI

485
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: and there was a blizzard and the only people that

486
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: called in were driving snow trucks, snow plow trucks around.

487
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: That was a tough one. I'm not gonna lie that was.

488
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 1: That was a tough night. That was. I was testing

489
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: my my skills there. I was. I was dragging out

490
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: certain things. And I remember the the w E I clock.

491
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,760

00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: had the opening segment of the hour. It was like

493
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: a twenty minute block, you know, and you're you're there

494
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,080

Speaker 1: in for Eddie on an overnight and I didn't know

511
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: who you were. And then and then all of a sudden,

512
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: like you started this is that you're pacing days, so

513
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 1: you take the break and then pace around the entire Yeah. Yeah,

514
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: I would walk around the building to get steps in. Yes,

515
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: you did that for years, right right. I had the

516
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: commercial breaks time to the second I knew exactly how

517
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: long I had to walk before I had to be

518
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: back on the air, you know. And this is during

519
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: the time when someone got stabbed down the street to like, yeah,

520
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: I know for for a pretty nice part of l A.

521
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: I guess it's just because we've been there for so long,

522
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: but there have been people killed and uh, you know,

523
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: people doing all kinds of wild things. And I and

524
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: I walked around in the middle of the night and

525
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 1: I saw things I couldn't believe, people like come crawling

526
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: out of the woodwork. It's wild and you don't see

527
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: any when you're there in Sherman Oaks. During the day,

528
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: you don't see any of that. It's beautiful. But then

529
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 1: at night it's like a whole different, different vibe, Like

530
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: the swamp creatures come out. It's wild. It's the night

531
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: of the Walking Dead pretty much. I knew all the

532
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,200

533
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,600

Speaker 1: weight back to lose it again. Wonderful. Carlos and Bang Bang,

556
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: Houston writes, and he says, how often did he interact

557
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: with Losorta? And we talked a lot about that in

558
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: a previous episode, Carlos, But I I interacted interacted with

559
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: Tommy when he was managing the two and a half years,

560
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: the last two and a half years of his career,

561
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: every you know, every day at home when the Dodgers

562
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: were at home, and then once he left and was

563
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: the ambassador, I saw him a lot. He would hang

564
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: out in the press box a lot. He liked to

565
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: hang around the media. So I saw him quite a

566
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: bit and it was just like a hello, how you doing, Tommy,

567
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: what's going on Ben that kind of thing. I just

568
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: love the fact that sort of knew my name. That was,

569
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: as I said, Losorda and Vince Gully. When you're you're

570
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: you know, you're a made man. Um the memory. As

571
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: far as Loss, I don't his greatest memory, but the

572
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: last time I saw him. Um one of the last

573
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: time was eighteen. I was at Staples Center and I'm

574
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: walking through the streets of l A. And I walked

575
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: by this steak place in downtown l A. And waddling

576
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: out of the stake places Tommy losorder but hey Tommy,

577
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: and I went over there and I took a photo.

578
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: It's actually on on Twitter. It was and you know, Tommy,

579
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: he's getting frail a little bit, but he even remembered

580
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: me and said hello, and we took a photo and

581
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: it's a brief conversation and he got into a car

582
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: service that picked him up, and then I kept walking,

583
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: and I think that was the last time I actually

584
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: saw because he didn't, you know, he didn't go out

585
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: that much in nineteen didn't hang out in the press box,

586
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: it was hard for him to get you move around

587
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: as much, and uh and all that, but fond memories.

588
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: Fond memberis Jason and Rocky Mountain, Virginia says, glad you're back.

589
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: I was wondering when you were on vacation, did you

590
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: and the misses stay in a cabin or a lodge?

591
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: It seemed like you may have been up in the

592
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: woods for several days. Well, Jason, we would have, but

593
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: King Knewsome would not allow that, and the polot I

594
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: don't know if it's King Newson, might have been the

595
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: federal government, but they they have lodges in Sequoia, but

596
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: because of COVID they were not open, so we had

597
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: to stay at a hotel down the mountain, which sucked.

598
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: It was. It was all right, but you would have

599
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: been much cooler if we had been able to stay

600
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: in a lodge right there, because you know that we

601
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: even have to drive. It's paining the ask to drive

602
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: through the snow and that whole thing and put the

603
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: chains on and take them off. So that would have

604
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: been that would have been pretty pretty cool. We were

605
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: not allowed to do that though, but it was it

606
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: was fun. Skip does zip Skippy in Cleveland says, Uh, condolence.

607
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: He said, Secondly, did you ever get my Christmas card?

608
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: Or if no, I have not picked up the mail

609
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: and the mails I'm gonna pick up the mail. I

610
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: promise I'll get to it here. I can't promise that

611
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: it will be done already by the time you hear this,

612
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: but it's on my list of things to do. I

613
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: have a lot of other things, unfortunately, that I have

614
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: to take care of. Uh. And he says, I, I

615
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: feel as though the Browns were his Chiefs will be

616
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: an offensive shootout, and of course I'm picking the Browns

617
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: to win a squeaker. While I am certain you will

618
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: disagree with that. In Gallon's how much sobbing will Pete

619
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: and Pittsburgh do when that happens. I don't know how

620
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: much into sports Pete is anymore. Pete piece and old

621
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: school caller Pizza become very political last I heard. Uh.

622
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, but yeah, yeah, I I miss Pete's calls.

623
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: I do. But would he care now? He'd probably just

624
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: say we're still the Pittsburgh Steeter is the greatest team

625
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: of them all. Blah blah blah blah blah. Eric and

626
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: Omaha is a very important question. He says, where is

627
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: the best place in Los Angeles to get some damn nachos?

628
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm not a big nacho eater. I I like Taketo's

629
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: and crunchy gringo tacos. Where are the where's the top

630
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: nacho spot? Guest on in l A. Somewhere in East

631
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: l A, Lincoln Heights, somewhere over there, man Pico Rivera,

632
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: No anywhere. That's a good question. No, I don't know.

633
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: We have no answer. We have no healthy and I'm

634
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: sorry we failed you. Are you a fan of Cardian

635
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: set up fries? Yeah, I'm good with that. I mean,

636
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:05,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out of the way to get him,

637
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: but I'm good with that. Oh yeah, this is that

638
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: place you like. What was the breakfast burrito place you

639
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: were bragging about, Oh, fantastic cafe. Yeah, yeah, that's good. Um,

640
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: Ponchos in Manhattan Beach has some big gas nachos. There's

641
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: but there's multiple Poncho's locations, are there? Yeah, that's not

642
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: Ponchos is not a standalone location. There was a Pontos

643
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's still around. In l A.

644
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: There was a Poncho no kidding, You didn't know that.

645
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: I had no I didn't know. I had no idea.

646
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: I just thought it was a standalone because the fucking

647
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: portions were just huge. You get a plate of of

648
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: enchiladas and it was like twenty bucks. Well now I

649
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: think there might be several with the same name Ponchos.

650
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the same because I've been

651
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: to a restaurant called Ponchos and they didn't have the

652
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: unbelievably large portions of food, So maybe it's a yeah,

653
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: a different Ponchos restaurant. How how big are we talking

654
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: like cheesecake factories? Yes, yes, yes, yes, I mean it's good.

655
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: It's really good. Ponco's restaurant. Yeah, in Manton Beach. Yeah,

656
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: like right off the pier ald on that Secon. Let

657
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: me look this place up here. Have you ever gone

658
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: to I know Jim Rome swears about this place grab

659
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: a Viney, But Javier is in Newport Beach. I have been.

660
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 1: I've been to a Jabyers. There's one in Vegas. Um

661
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: it's good but very Um. Yeah it is, but I'm

662
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: more of a like an El Coyote guy. That's good.

663
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: Prices have gone up though quite a bit over the years,

664
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: but it's it's a good restaurant there. They also have

665
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,399
Speaker 1: the They have the Green Go Taco as well, which

666
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: is which is nice for me. I'll see you, Caleb

667
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: in Meadville, Pennsylvania, says big Man. I've heard you sing

668
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: the praises of raising canes chicken figures for a while. Now.

669
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 1: I was blown away to discover there was one in Youngstown, Ohio.

670
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: Is it worth the pilgrimage? Alright? So a couple of

671
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: things here, Caleb. First of all, what is your level

672
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: of joy for eating chicken figures? That's the most important thing.

673
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: If you are a chicken finger connoisseur, you love the sauce,

674
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: you love the whole meal, a traditional all American meal

675
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: of chicken fingers, fries, and a lemonade with Texas toast.

676
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: If you're passionate about that food, If that's a food

677
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: that resonates with you, uh, then absolutely. Now I have

678
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: driven to raise before Raisingknes opened up in my backyard.

679
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: I used to drive all over God's Greener to eat

680
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: raising canes. But I love the chicken pie, and I

681
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: was one of the most attractive things to me about

682
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: going to Vegas because they didn't have it in California

683
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: for a while. But I go to Vegas and they

684
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: were all over Vegas, so I'd go to hang out

685
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: there and I'd get my raising canes. I go to Vegas,

686
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: all those restaurants in Vegas, I'd beat in raising canes. Um,

687
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: So it really depends on that. But yeah, it's good,

688
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: But I mean, I don't know, I'd plan a whole

689
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: trip about it if that's I don't know how many

690
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: miles that is for you. But if it's it's not

691
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: too bad, chair, why not go and do something in

692
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: Youngstown and go have some chicken fingers and keep an

693
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: eye the Raising Kine's website because they're expanding new locations

694
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: all over a lot of a lot of expansion there.

695
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: So all right, uh, let's see here. Glenn in Carmichael,

696
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: California says, I feel like we've had this question before

697
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: since Ben, what baseball great from the past would you

698
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: wish you could have seen play? I've answered this, the

699
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: answer is not changed. Um, Babe Ruth, the legend of

700
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: the Bambino Babe Ruth, I want to see what all

701
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: the hypes about would be nice dolphin Mike says, I

702
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 1: work at a newspaper and it's like an unguarded fortress.

703
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: He says, if you get in the front door without

704
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: a key, fop, good luck getting in any other doors

705
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: without a key fop. Dolphin Mikes says, my question, why

706
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: was it so easy to get into the Capitol building

707
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: that has armed guards, better security, etcetera, etcetera. Well, I

708
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: can't answer that, Dolphin Mike. I I missed all that.

709
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: I was doing stuff my with my father and going

710
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: through stuff. I guess John, I think I I text you,

711
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: like we were you, you wouldn't sent me something or

712
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 1: believe that's how it went down. But says somebody, maybe

713
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: it wasn't. You sent me a text telling me what

714
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: had happened at the Capitol. But I had not. I

715
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: didn't watch it in real time or anything like that.

716
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: I didn't know what was going on, and I didn't

717
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 1: find out until after it because I was completely off

718
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: the grid when that happened. Have you've been to d C?

719
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: Have you've done time there in d C? Yeah? I

720
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: went to I had a call a game at Morgan

721
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: State and and I stayed in Baltimore and part of

722
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: the trip and we went was what we got to

723
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: go through d C for a day. I didn't spend

724
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: a lot of time there. But DC is fun, man,

725
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: there's there's a good vibe and it's a dirty slash

726
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,439
Speaker 1: energetic vibe that you get almost rivals in New York

727
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: in d C. Yeah, but like this, there's a lot

728
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: of security, I would imagine right around. I've never been

729
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: to d C. I need to get there at some point.

730
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: I'd like to go and hang out. But there's a

731
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: lot everywhere you go, right because it's a target. No

732
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: if three years ago when I went there wasn't no

733
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: not at all. I mean, but it seems odd to me.

734
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 1: Maybe they just shouldn't. Maybe he didn't notice it about that. Yeah,

735
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: I mean they weren't front center like they are with

736
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: the National Guard these days. Yeah. So there's so there

737
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: you go, isn't there not advertising? They keep a low profile. Yeah, yeah,

738
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: where you go? All right, let's put the baby, but

739
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: anything else, guess on anything else you would like to

Speaker 1: promote or yap about or just wine. No, we're good. No, subscribe, Yeah, subscribe,

743
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: We can keep them short. You want to shorter. Some
