One day has passed, but 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:41.920 I did my God's I did God's work for at 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.720 least one day, Ben Maller, and uh, I will wait 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:50.840 for you to eloquently and politely acknowledge what you're gonna 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:55.000 be doing over the weekend here the next couple of moments. 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:57.400 Oh so you're you You would like that right now 0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:58.560 as I as you gonna get to that letter. But 0:01:58.600 --> 0:01:59.880 I can do that now if you want. No. No, 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:01.920 But you know what, I was just thinking about this 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:04.680 um earlier in the week because I was driving the studio. 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.480 I noticed two things. Uh One, there was a ton 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.440 of traffic, and as I got to the studio, too, 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:14.440 there was no sign of of Ben Maller. I'm kind 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.959 of curious, like everybody else coming back to work won't 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.480 even get your ass in the studio. Uh well, I 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:23.799 am really following the guidelines of management, and they've not 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.600 asked me to come back. I did go down there 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.280 to pick up some mail. If I had to have 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.600 to go back because Doc Mike sent me a book 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.399 about piss so I guess I've got to pick that up, 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:36.880 which he thinks is he thinks once I read this, 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:41.240 I'll be brainwashed and I'll be hornswaggled into like guzzling 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.880 my urine after this, which I am very confident will 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.200 not happen. Uh. And there's some other things I need 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:47.640 to pick up. So I will go in there. And 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.840 I have considered, you know, randomly, you know, going in 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.000 and doing a doing a show. But I have a 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.079 set up here. And the thing that I've noticed now 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.440 because they have the company has me doing these YouTube 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.280 videos in the home studio, it's set up per quickly 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:04.400 to record these things, and it's not set up the 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:06.320 same way in the main studio, which you think would 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.440 be the opposite, but it's not. And I've I'm a 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.400 pretty good set up here that I've got my routine down. 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:13.560 So I know at some point I'm gonna have to 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:17.000 figure out how to do do the the setup in 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.560 in the hub, but that's part of it. But now 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.880 I haven't haven't gone in there, and maybe i'll maybe 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:24.600 I'll go in at some point and surprise you. I'll 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:26.600 pop in and say, hey, look here I am. Do 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:28.680 you miss me? Do you miss coming into the studio? 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.240 You know I do. But I'm at the problem. I'm 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.720 getting used to this now. It's been two months of 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:36.800 doing the show from the home studio, so I'm kind 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.960 of used to that now. But I like the energy. 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:41.920 I've always got into radio. One of the reasons I 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:43.760 got a radio is because I loved walking into the 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:45.560 radio station. Remember the first time I walked into the 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.120 Mighty six ninety in San Diego and I was like, 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:52.000 this is awesome. The vibe, the energy. Of course, there's 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:55.200 none of that right now at radio stations because because 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.960 of what's going on. But I'd really like to get 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.480 back in that. You feel like, you know, special when 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:01.640 you walk in there. You feel like this is a 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.280 big job. You know when you walk into a race station. 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:05.360 When you walk into your home studio, you don't feel 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:07.839 that big, you don't feel that important. And in a plus, 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.080 it's cool. I mean we we worked Steve Harvey, a 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:13.520 legend entertainment. His studio is right across the hall from us. 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.520 There's so many great stars that work at Premiere in 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.600 radio in our profession that it's you feel like this 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:21.159 is big. You know, this is cool where we with 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.760 all these legends and then now we're all we're all 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.920 a part more than ever. Yeah, there's something really empowering 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:32.200 about getting off the four oh five freeway. I know. 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.520 I know now that Claire. Now our studios if you 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.200 ever come to l A when things open up and 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.839 we invite studios people into the studio and stuff, the 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.840 studios are right where the four oh five and the 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:46.000 one on one merge. And I'm happy to report that 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:50.800 I take the one oh one. I do not get 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.480 on the four oh five. The only reason I were 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:55.880 to get on the four oh five is if the 0:04:55.960 --> 0:05:00.560 offer amp right there at the Ventura is shut down 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.840 for some reason or sup Paul, and I'll I'll then 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:05.919 have to jump on the four or five. But that's it. 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:08.600 I don't don't go on the four or five. That's 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:10.520 a point of demarcation. I do not cross the four 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.520 oh five. Don't do it. Don't cross it. Yeah, you 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.520 don't even cross it when you go get Tito's Tacos. 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:19.000 That's true. I saw that Tito's is opening up on 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:24.800 June one, but only only four delivery and only local deliveries. 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:26.640 So that means we were trying to figure out. I 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:28.440 was talking to the wife about this. I was like, 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.320 how are we gonna get my my tetoes fixed? Because 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.599 I don't have an address right near ttos. So I 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.000 was thinking, either maybe I'll deliver the car, you know, 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:38.880 I could sit in there, you know, parking lot somewhere. 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:44.240 Or my father in law has a business in downtown 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:48.919 Los Angeles. He's he runs a like a a storage 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:50.960 warehouse thing in in l A. So I could go 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.760 maybe at his place and then have him deliver there, 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.480 which I think is close enough that it might work. 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.719 So I have spent some time thinking about I wonder 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.359 if they take telephone call is because Chick fil A, 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.080 which is down the street from US and and Sino 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:06.200 was doing that. They have the Chick fil A app, 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.160 So they'll only serve you if you're either driving through 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:12.479 the drive through or you order through your app, and 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.680 then you can pick it up either the parking lot 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.240 or you can pick it up at the at the door, 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.200 like they'll have a door where you have a couple 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.560 of vendors that come in and out servers. Yeah, yeah, 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:26.080 I I went last week, uh, and to to make 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.080 sure my dad was still alive. I don't I don't 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:29.520 want to get in trouble guests come. But I did 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.800 visit my father. I'm a bad person. I did. I 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:36.279 visited my old man and so I picked up some 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.320 we picked up some food to to bring to him, 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.200 you know, some meal and obviously, and we went to 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.520 a restaurant that we like. And you can't just walk 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.560 up in order at that place, you had they had slass. 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.920 You had to park your car and you had order 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:51.479 on the phone. So even though I was right there 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.560 talking to the person, you know, we were talking about it, 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.200 they had now you gotta go, you gotta do it 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.240 on the app or whatever, and that that whole thing. 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.440 They didn't have a drive through. Now, So what's uh, 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.120 what's on the menu today? All right? So this is 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:09.000 a mildly marginally entertaining show. We're in the in the 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.920 middle part of this show, we're gonna get to another doctor. 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.840 We're gonna call him Dr G. And this is a 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:18.480 fan of the show. This is a fan of the 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.320 podcast on the radio show who reached out to me 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.680 to come on this podcast. He had some things he 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:28.000 wanted to say. He was upset with the the narrative 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.840 about the coronavirus in the way that it's being described 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.840 in many of the mainstream media outfits. And he felt 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.360 like he's on the front lines. They're working at a 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:40.160 hospital on the East Coast, and he wanted his story told. 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:44.360 And I was a little skeptical at first because I 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:48.920 was I don't really know, but he We had him confirmed. 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.640 We did our due diligence to make sure he was legit, 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:53.560 because I, you know, anybody can email me from any 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:55.600 you know where, and but this guy is a legit guy. 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.880 He sent us I mean everything possibly you could imagine 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.800 to verify who he was is and uh and he 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.840 did that and so so that's that's how this all 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.720 kind of began. And we'll have him on talking about 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.680 his story and whatnot. But before we get to that, 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.960 we've got the flint Stones meets the Jetsons. Instead of 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:19.560 set it and forget it, just forget it, we've got that, 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:24.640 but we begin with what's in the box? What's in 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:29.600 the box? So you know, I I'm pretty much hermit. 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:31.160 I go I leave my house for like an hour 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.480 a day here, Uh, I go for a walk. Sometimes 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.080 it's an hour and a half. I went on a 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.000 two hour walk the other day. I got I couldn't. 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:40.079 I'm in a sleeping very well it was, which sucks. 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:42.679 And so as I get up, is I gotta get 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:44.960 some sun, get out, get a little daylight, you know, 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:46.760 see the world, walk around. I can't go to the 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.640 gym anymore. That's over. So I went out walking around. 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:51.760 But uh so then, you know, I don't usually check 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:53.760 the mail, even you know who's gonna send email. So 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:57.760 they get this message, Hey, go check your portion from 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.440 from from gag on. So I go out there and 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.080 there's this big box you know what, I'm thinking, Oh boy, 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.360 And it's got some kind of like like a health 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.960 label on it. You know, I see like like a 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.200 buzzword there, like you know, I think I saw organic 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:12.679 on that or something like that. So I'm like, what 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.960 the what the perishable perishable perishable is not organic? But 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:17.480 I saw there's a big word on the box, big 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:21.640 block box. I liked, did guests gott have Doc Mike 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.160 send me goat head or something like that? And so 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.600 then I this massive box. I take it through the 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:28.319 front door of the Mallard mansion. I put it there 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.480 on the kitchen counter. I then have to run back. 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:33.680 I grabbed some scissors to kind of cut open the boxes. 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.160 It does say perishable on it. I opened the box 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.640 and it says here there's a message right on top. 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:42.280 It says to Ben Maller from West of the four 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.760 oh five. Never in my whole life have I ever 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:49.000 been more afraid to see the end results of this endeavor. 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.880 God help us all. And there is a what looks 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:58.240 like a beautiful piece of meat here. It's American wagu 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:04.160 Tomahawks steak ball in. And I assume you want me 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.400 to do like a cooking video guest on, Is that 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.520 what you would like me to do here? Just you know, 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.920 I was thinking of that, asking maybe Fats to come 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.880 on to guide you through this, but he's currently probably 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:18.080 lighting himself on fire again. But to give you the 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:21.160 skinny on this thing, it's it's forty ounces two and 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:26.079 a half pounds or two pounds. Excuse me, um, and yeah, 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:30.040 I a buddy of two friends of mine, Um Colin, 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:31.760 who you you've got a chance to meet a couple 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.959 of weeks ago, Uh Colin, And my other buddy Patrick, 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.600 who who's on the front lines as well, working in 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:41.840 um l a city fire department. Um, we actually went 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:45.440 to the Langham Hotel like a year or two ago 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:47.640 just to go out and have some dinner. And they 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:51.240 have a restaurant in the steakhouse called the Royce and 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.360 I've never had a tom hank before, and so a 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.319 friend of ours actually worked there and she's like, you 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.040 gotta get it. So they brought out this giant dish 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.839 and that's all we d me. Colin and Patrick. We 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:05.920 ordered the Tomahawk, which was a little pricey, but I 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.040 kid you not, with forty ounces, I could ate that 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.280 whole damn thing myself. It was so good. But we 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:14.240 absolutely demolished that thing. And I figured this would be 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:18.840 a perfect present for the guy that celebrated his birthday 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:22.880 that absolutely threw me against the cross and stoned me 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:26.560 to death and said I didn't reach out to for birthday. 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:31.680 So given that, given that the shortage and meat, Ben, 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:40.240 this was actually ordered before your birthday. Was my thirty birthday, 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.959 just turned thirty. But to be completely transparented, you know, 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.160 it took a while to get to you, just obviously 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:49.160 with the shortage, and uh, well, thank you, it's very 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:52.640 kind of you, and I see the uh it's got 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:54.679 a little pamplet that this thing came with on how 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.679 to properly cook the steak. But I noticed there it 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:01.600 says your preference. It's got listed here rare medium, rare 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.960 medium medium. Well, I do not see well, do not 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.920 see well listed here? And it's got it's it's it's 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.080 somewhat annoying here that they don't have that. They're like 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.720 our people are being shunned. You know. The President Donald 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.440 Trump loves his food well done, much like myself. So 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:17.520 but I do not see that. But I guess I'll 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.640 have to do it medium. Well. Then, yes, I guess 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:21.640 I'll have to get a little pink in the middle 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.880 there and take the medium. Well, I think you're gonna 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.800 have phone with it. I appreciate the very kind of 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.080 you to do that. And this is perfect for when 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:31.720 you because typically say, when you break your fast, you 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.000 go all out that day or that night. YEA, yeah, 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:35.960 I go big, I go big. I got I this 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.199 week I had let me go to the phone here, 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.440 Hold on a second, let check this out. I want 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:43.320 to do some fast. I'll be like you bragging about 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:47.800 my fast fast. No, that was only when my gallbladder 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.520 got taken out. That I had my record fast, the 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:54.000 longest fast ever ninety point one hours because I had 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:55.920 I had not eaten for forty eight hours, and then 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:58.200 I went to the hospital and they wouldn't let me 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:02.560 eat for another another couple of days. Uh, let's see 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.400 the other day this week, I went sixty four hours 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:09.439 at a sixty four hour fast, and I also had 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:15.240 a about a fifty hour fast, so I had. Yeah, 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.720 so I pretty much ate. I think I I ate 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.760 on Saturday, I eat a bunch of food on Saturday, 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:25.200 didn't eat on Sunday, didn't need on Monday, eight on Tuesday, 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:29.240 and then didn't need on Wednesday, and then eight late 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:32.200 on Thursday, and then you know, picked up you know 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.480 for the weekends Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I just eat 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.560 like you know, a couple of times or whatever. So well, 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:38.560 you know this from back in the day when you 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:40.880 were you were running around the world, will travel with 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:43.880 the Dodgers that they have this thing that everyone calls 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:47.960 is the slut buster. Um, this will definitely be your 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:52.080 fasting buster. Like I recommend that when you finished a 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:55.080 long fast on a Friday or Saturday, this is on 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:57.600 the menu. It's front and center and and you know, 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.760 I will, I will put that to use there. But 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:02.440 this more of a weekend item. You know, I got 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:04.360 it because because I can't doing the week I got 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:06.280 a lot of crap going on, and we all do it, 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:09.000 but on the weekend, I can just focus on the meat. 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.240 Focus on the meat. Now. That leads me to one 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.200 thing I gotta push back on you on regarding your 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.720 your regular show Monday through Friday. I thought you had 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:23.040 a golden opportunity to capitalize on something from from Sunday night, 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:26.280 and I was a little shot that you didn't um 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:29.800 the flu game or the pizza game, the food poisoning game. 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.480 I thought that was gonna be a perfect opportunity for 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:36.880 you to jump along the same linear lines as Michael 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:40.480 Jordan's because not only did he play in game six 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:44.560 in a closeout game for the Chicago Bulls, but you 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:48.720 actually hosted a show after burning your mouth eating pizza. 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.560 No no, no, I see that's your see you miss 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:56.280 getting here. I guess that is not the most impressive 0:14:56.320 --> 0:15:00.280 feat of broadcasting with some kind of ailment. Yeah, you 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.320 shoot your pants and then hosted a show. I get 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.120 no, no no, no no. Before that, I had gold stones 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:08.120 the most painful thing. You think you're having a heart attack, 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.280 and I can the show continued. I kept doing the 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:17.160 show with gold Stones series. I had goll Stones going on. Yeah, 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:20.320 that was that was brutal. But anyway, we ever get 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:21.720 to it because we got a lot to be a 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:26.960 lot very long podcast. So the flint Stones meet the Jetsons. 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.080 That is an outdated reference, but you know it sometimes 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:33.000 in television. Typically in television they have crossovers. You know, 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.320 it's like where characters of different shows get together. It's 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.320 kind of obvious, Like, you know, I grew up watching 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.400 the flint Stones and the Jetsons all these old cartoons, 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:41.280 and they had an episode where there's like some kind 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:44.520 of time machine and Fred flint Stone and the Jetsons 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.000 got together and all that. So I bring this up 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:49.320 because I got a phone call from management the other 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:51.880 day and then you know, ring ring, I'm like, anytime 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:53.920 I see management, I'm like, gosh, ship, what did I do? 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:55.760 You know? What did I say? I'm like going through 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:57.800 my head. Did I say something? Did something get on 0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:59.720 the other shouldn't have gotten the air? Did they finally 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:02.400 hear O, Mike, you know what's going on? And so Anyway, 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:04.440 management calls me up and they're like, hey, we've got 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:07.720 a proposal, and I was like, okay, I'm listening. Uh. 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:09.600 They said, we want to do a crossover show. I 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:13.080 said okay, uh, and so I I agree to it. 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:17.640 I'm actually excited about this. And so this coming Thursday, 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:20.440 I in Thursday and the Friday, the Friday show on 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:23.080 the Overnight. I will not be in the Overnight the 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:26.920 normal seat here, which I'm reluctant to leave that position, 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.400 but I will not be on that show Friday of 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.800 this week. So no lame jokes, don't send any jokes 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:34.120 for this upcoming week because it won't be on the air. 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:38.680 But I will be sitting in the number two chair 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:42.320 next to Rob Parker on the Odd Couple. I'll be 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:45.960 filling in for Chris Brussard who's got some time off here, 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:51.320 and I will be a shamuzing with my friend Rob Parker. 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:54.080 And I think you're actually gonna be working on that show, guest. 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:58.920 So that's yes. How about that three hours of amazing 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:03.960 content prime time Mallard from seven to ten on the 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.160 East coast, that's Afternoon Drive on the West coast four 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:11.600 to seven, and that's Uh, that's pretty good. I love Rob. 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:13.840 You know, we we've had meals with Rob. I think 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:15.959 Rob's great. I love that he's he's a ship ster 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.600 and he's got strong opinions, and he rocks the boat 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:23.360 and he's good, he's entertaining. So I'm excited to go 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:27.479 into the really the radio octagon with Rob Parker. We're 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:29.440 gonna have fun with that. That is, so that's gonna 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:35.040 be may correct, Yes, that is may Now. I know 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.040 part of the reason why you're not apprehensive about doing 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.760 this is because you're already used to k l a 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:43.320 c a M. Five seventy here in Los Angeles covering 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.920 your show up, so this will be no different for 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:49.119 you during the prime hours here in Los Angeles is 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.840 being covered up? Uh yeah. Well. One one thing that 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:54.000 we point out here that does have I get covered 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:58.280 up reruns of baseball games, which is really a kick 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:00.560 in the nuts. But I understand, and they sold it. 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.160 They have advertising whatever. Good for them. I don't really care. 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:06.040 And I used to get really upset about being covered 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:09.160 up and I rant and rave and I remember one 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:11.600 time years ago when Fox Sports Radio was in his 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:13.640 early days, and I found out that the they were 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.879 replaying Olympic events overnight, and I was getting covered up 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:19.639 by like, you know, lose or something like that. But 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:22.520 did you say women's ice hockey, Well that was yeah, 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:24.719 I was even before that. Yeah, I got preempted by 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:29.520 women's Olympic trial hockey, which was really a just a 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:32.840 dagger to the to the gut. But but I learned 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:34.080 at some point, you know, you do the show and 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.199 if people love the show, they'll find the show, like 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:37.840 the fans of the show will find it. You can't 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.000 really worry about that. And the great thing now more 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:43.640 than ever, like back in those days there was no podcasting, 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:46.359 didn't really exist. You either listen to the show live 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:48.359 or that was it. But now like if you miss it, 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.080 you can there's like seven thousand different ways you can 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:53.159 hear the show. You can satellite radio and if you're 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:55.160 driving a truck, get satellite radio. Can hear the show. 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:59.320 UM almost always cleared on on Sirious x M channel 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:02.600 eighty three, and you've got I Heart Radio. The streaming services. 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:04.920 There's some other streaming services. We're not supposed to say 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:07.479 that our shows on that you can also listen to, uh, 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:09.840 and then we've got the I Heart app with podcasting 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:11.800 and all this, it's like a zillion ways you can 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:13.680 hear the show, so I don't really rebut it it's nice. 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:16.280 And it's limited though, because I mean, we're doing this 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:19.080 for a limited time before we go follow Jill Rogan 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:23.679 of Spotify, right, yes, yes, yes, I'm right now. It 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.080 doesn't have to Spotify anyone that has a hundred million 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:28.520 dollar check. I am in. I don't care if you 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:31.000 have no listeners. I could be talking into a garden hose. 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:34.440 I don't care. I will yell into that garden hose 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:37.200 loud and proud. Chi ching, Chi ching. I'm telling you 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:39.280 right now, my dream is to be a sellout. I 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:41.680 want people to call me a sellout. I want people 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:43.600 to say, you're just some rich guy. I want that, 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:46.440 you know. I did a monologue this week about the owners, 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:48.919 and everyone's like shaming the owners in baseball, taking the 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:51.480 side of the players. I think because people look down 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:53.760 upon the rich, even though everyone's rich, it's just that 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:57.400 the owners are more wealthy. They're super rich, they're aristocrat 0:19:57.520 --> 0:19:59.320 rich and all that. But my I don't I don't 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:00.920 feel that. I don't. I don't just look down upon 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:02.679
