15
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: there's no applause on this, Uh not really necessary? And

16
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: and parts of Unknown, I guess you can narrow it down,

17
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,840

Speaker 1: hanging out with the aristocrats, the elitist, the one per

20
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: centers your people. I'm hanging out with the unwashed, my people,

21
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: the blue collar workers, the fabric of America. That's who

22
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm hanging out. You're closer the Phoenix than your Los Angeles,

23
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,839

00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: We are a little pop quiz, a little study this,

26
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: and a whole lot of mail. Will open up the

27
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: mail bag, and I asked you guys to send messages

28
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: in earlier because because of the furlough, so we're recording

29
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: this at a different time. Obviously we're not in the studio.

30
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: That's also the audio of you've been listing all weekend.

31
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: The audio is not not up to stand. So that

32
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: means this will be a rare week where you just

33
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: don't try to annihilate me for the audio the when

34
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: it's recorded. So I'm grateful for that you acknowledge it

35
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: right off the bat, and I want to have to

36
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: worry about the rest of the week all but this

37
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: is the part. Hopefully that the audio stays solid for

38
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: this because the most important part of this entire podcast

39
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,600

65
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: when I finished that, because it was very painful to

66
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: do that particular cameo, which was requested by a secret

67
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: person we will not name, who for some reason, is

68
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: so smitten with gag On. I do not know why.

69
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: I can't quite figure it out, but this particular person

70
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: really wanted a cameo, just lavishing Gascon with praise and uh,

71
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: I'll pretty much do anything you know on cameo. So

72
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: I said, all right, it's like, you know, nobody's gonna

73
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: see this, nobody's gonna hear this other than a couple

74
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: of people. So so I'm doing it. Yeah, I appreciate it.

75
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: It was nine painful minutes for you, but a lot

76
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: and proud thank you for the card. So birthday, you're

77
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: now fifty? Does it feel different to be fifty? There?

78
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: You you look a lot older. All of a sudden,

79
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking at a video of you, man, you look old.

80
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: The gray hair has slowly come in on the chin

81
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: and across the beard. On top of my head, I

82
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: get a full head of hair, unlike you. So I

83
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: don't see a gray just year. But I don't know

84
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: about that you're wearing. You're wearing a hat. I don't

85
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,239
Speaker 1: know that you have a full head. I'm full ahead

86
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: of it. Looks like that looks like some hair plugs

87
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: right there. I don't know about that. Man. Do you

88
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: imagine if there's one person that would not disclose that too,

89
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: that is exactly the guy Ben Molly would not. I

90
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: got I got nothing. I got nothing. But but uh,

91
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: that's fine, that's fine. I look at you in an

92
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: hair club for men. I think you're dying the beard

93
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: a little bit. I think you got a little uh,

94
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: you know, covering up the gray there. That's a good move, right,

95
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,559
Speaker 1: you get to get the fifty. You gotta do it. Yeah,

96
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: I I need you to, uh, I need you to

97
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: walk me through the process of once I turned forty two,

98
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: now be into that phase of getting checked, you know,

99
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: once every six months for prosted exams, blood pressure, cholesterol,

100
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: the whole, the whole smash. I mean, I know you

101
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: don't have to get a gallbladder checked anymore, but I

102
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: might have to. It's a cheap shot. Yeah. Yeah, Well

103
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: a good thing about working in radios. We got our

104
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: prostate check quite regularly working, so you know it really

105
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: helps your health. Uh it does anyway, all right, you dummy. Uh,

106
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: let's get we got pop quiz you. I got a

107
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: few pop quiz with the show must continue here, so, uh,

108
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: these are random things that are fun questions. I'll ask

109
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: gascon and then you can play along as you listen.

110
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: According to a new survey, forty percent of parents say

111
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: they argue with their family about this on a regular basis.

112
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: It is a regular problem in families. Man, I I

113
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: guess in today's world, would my number one answer be?

114
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: What is politics? Uh? That's not a bad answer. Answer,

115
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: It's not a it's not a great answer because you know,

116
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: most people these days, you very rarely see a Republican

117
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: and a Democrat. It's Democrat, democrat, Republican, Republican. There's no

118
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: differing things. But the answer is the temperature in the car,

119
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: you know, like you're driving around and I don't want

120
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: it colder, No, I want it hotter. You know, I

121
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: haven't really had that problem in recent years. I don't

122
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: know if you know this, but there's certain vehicles out

123
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: there that have temperatures for the passenger side of the

124
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: vehicle and the driver's side of the vehicle. I is

125
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: that right? Is that right? Is that? Is that how

126
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: you live west of the four oh five? Is that right?

127
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: Some of us have the dial on the air conditioner.

128
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: You have blue and red. Cold would be blue and

129
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: then red would be warm, and then you have to

130
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: figure out what is the proper temperature based on that?

131
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: All right? Moving on what? One third of Americans say

132
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: this is the celebrity where they would like to share

133
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: a hot dog with. This is a spinoff of the

134
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: Fourth of July, which was obviously recently, So one third

135
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: of Americans say this is the celebrity they would like

136
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: to enjoy a weener with. Who is it? You know

137
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: a lot about eating Wiener's guest on? So what do

138
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,239
Speaker 1: you think here? I'm gonna go out on a limb

139
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: with a man of Troy and say Will Ferrell, Will Farrell?

140
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: All right? He went. I went to the same high

141
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: school as Will Farrell. He's made slightly more money than me. Um,

142
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: but no, that is incorrect. That is incorrect. It's a woman.

143
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: It's an older woman. How about that even better? Um,

144
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna is it Holly Berry? No? No, I didn't

145
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: know Holly Berry was old. And this is I'm I'm talking.

146
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess she's old for you know, for

147
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: for if you're like twenty, she's old at thirty, your forty,

148
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: but you're fifty, she's I don't think it's halle Berry fifty.

149
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. Yeah, she's past fifty. She

150
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: doesn't look like it, though. Oh is that all right?

151
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: I haven't I've not seen any photo of halle It's

152
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,280

00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: A new survey asked Americans to name the side dishes

179
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: they love to eat on the Fourth of July. Now,

180
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: baked beans was the most popular. Not at the Mound,

181
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: not at the Mallard, household, by the way, not baked beans.

182
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: But I'm more of a like a chip guy on

183
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: the side. But anyway, what was number two? How about

184
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: potato salad or macaroni salad. Yeah, my wife likes the

185
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: potato salad. I'm not a fan. Why not? Wait wait wait,

186
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: why not? Yeah? I like mac and cheese. I don't

187
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: like macaroni salad. I like potatoes. I don't like potato salad. Uh.

188
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: The answer is, and this is disgusting. It's probably west

189
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: of the four or five people eating this deviled eggs.

190
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: How pathetic is that? It makes me want to puke

191
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: thinking about deviled eggs. When I think of deviled eggs,

192
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: I think Christmas and holiday parties, like not the ones

193
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: that you go to because I know you're gonna company

194
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,640

00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: for but uh w when invited guest got Those days

196

00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: have to worry about over indulging at a company event anymore.

198
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: I'm glad I got that in because there will be

199
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 1: no more of those anytime soon. I can't do you

200
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: remember the last thing you had a deviled egg crap. No,

201
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: and maybe when I was a kid, I was forced

202
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: to eat it. You know, I wolfed it down to

203
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: try to get it over with and then you move on.

204
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 1: It was torture. But now I'm not a fan. Alright.

205
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: Any two of Americans say this is the number one

206
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: pet peeve about going to the beach. A lot of

207
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: people going to the beach over the summer here or

208
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: the lake. Lack of parking. Uh no, that is not it.

209
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: See if you go to Hawaii, because there's parking everywhere

210
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: in Hawaiian. No, that's true. It's amazing. Ah. The correct

211
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: answer though, smoking, Oh, people smoking at the beach. You

212
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: like the smokes? You smoke cigarettes for years? Gas gun No, never,

213
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: never ever ever, My my, my pipes are naturally like this.

214
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: But that is that is annoying. Like on the boardwalk.

215
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: You'll get guys that are just hanging out on the

216
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: boardwalk smoking a cigarette or a cigar, and you get

217
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: traffic going up and down the boardwalk and that just

218
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: blows into their faces. It's pretty annoying. Yeah, allowed, though,

219
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: it is allowed. Yeah, you're smoking not illegal? Alright. Thirty

220
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: three of kids do this at night? What is it?

221
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: What kids. I can't say, play video games because they

222
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: do that all day, that's right, not video games. Um

223
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: of these kids do this. Um, they don't do homework

224
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: any more. No, those days, those days are over, long gone.

225
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:11,599
Speaker 1: What about what about talking on the phone? Talking on

226
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: the phone, Those days are over too. I guess people

227
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: text these days. They don't talk on the phone. They

228
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: could text her in the day and talk at night.

229
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: You're better off spitting in the wind. Uh. The correct

230
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: answer is sleepwalk? Have you ever been, ever been a sleepwalker? Yeah?

231
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean early and yeah I have a

232
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: couple of times have walked, like randomly into the wall.

233
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: It's genetic, right, isn't that genetic that's passed down usually?

234
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: I think it runs in the family. I don't know.

235
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: You gotta ask your wife. She's the hippie, she knows

236
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: all this ship. How about you ask your dad if

237
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: he slept walk when he was a kid. How about that?

238
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: All right? Anyway, he doesn't sleep, He doesn't sleep good?

239
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: Neither do I I get these random text message as well.

240
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: I'm trying to sleep, you know, calling me out for

241
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: not paying my my co workers more money. And I

242
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: didn't realize I was a former NFL player making millions

243
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: of dollars. Anyway, we call you Betty money bags, money bags, Mallar,

244
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: money moneyball, Maller, not money bags moneyball. Mollery will never

245
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: call me money bags. I would like to be called

246
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: money bags Mallory. I think that would be the cat's whiskers.

247
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: To be called moneyball money bags Mallory would be great,

248
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: all right. Anyway, five of men are freaked out when

249
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: their woman does this. They lose their mind. What is it? Um?

250
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: But only five role play? Role play? Uh no, I've

251
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: it's probably higher than five percent on that. But the

252
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: answer is make more money than they do. So when

253
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: they're there there, woman makes more money, like crap, that's good.

254
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: Not only only five percent, that's good. I think that's

255
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: that's adequate. I don't I wouldn't freak out at all,

256
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: would you now? I'd be happy. I wouldn't. I wouldn't

257
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: worry is you know? Might be? That's great. Good. I'll

258
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: live off you. That's the way to do it. Come on,

259
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:09,239
Speaker 1: I'm perfectly fine doing that, all right. A new survey

260
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: finds many Americans do not want to return to the

261
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: office once the coronavirus is done. And people, you know,

262
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: they you don't have to wear the mask anymore, and

263
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: they don't mandate all these things and all this stuff. So, uh,

264
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: this is not really a pop quiz question, but it

265
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: was interesting that maybe people don't want to go back

266
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: to work. Um I actually would like to go back

267
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: at some point, not every day, maybe a few days

268
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: a week, go back to fact to work part time.

269
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: But you know it isn't people want to stay at home.

270
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: And if if you do work out of the office,

271
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: imagine if you work in the commercial real estate sector

272
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: and you're renting out office buildings, you gotta be like,

273
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: wait a minute, if everyone's just gonna work from their home,

274
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: is are there some zoning rules that you're not allowed? Yeah?

275
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: I think, I mean I don't have to look, but

276
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: I believe there are some rules that you're not allowed

277
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: to work in some businesses you're not allowed to work

278
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: at home. Well yeah, I mean, if you're mean, we

279
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: live here in Los Angeles, Sin. So we got the harbor,

280
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: are in the docks. I mean the longshoreman they have

281
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,359
Speaker 1: to work no matter what. Um. Yeah, I would imagine

282
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: an outside of politicians, but how many public servants that

283
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: they have to go to work no matter what to

284
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: you know, if you're a police, firefighter, UM, gas and

285
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: electric companies, UM. You know, if you're a real estate agent,

286
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: you don't really have to work from an office anymore.

287
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: You can work from you can work from home and

288
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: just show people listings and list property when you need to.

289
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: But well, no, I know that. But I mean, you

290
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: know some I thought there was some zoning laws and stuff.

291
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how that. Well, I'll tell you one

292
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: place for sure that needs employees. There is King Newsome's winery.

293
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: He needs employees there. That's the only place open here

294
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: in California. Well, he, when you're part of the monarchy, gascon,

295
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: you can do whatever you want when you're in the monarchy.

296
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: And good for him. I guess the people of California

297
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: get what you vote for. I didn't vote for Gavin Newsom,

298
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: so I hope the people enjoy Gavin Newsom, and they

299
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: enjoyed he's turning the state into San Francisco. And uh,

300
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: that's a different conversation. Don't you don't you miss coming

301
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: to the studio though, I mean you're you're always there,

302
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: even on holidays. So you went from zero to sixty

303
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: and vice versa, and you blinking. Yeah. Yeah, Although you know,

304
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: it's like I've always said, I remember years ago, I

305
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: learned it takes about thirty to sixty days to form

306
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: a new habit. Yeah, I'm kind of used to working

307
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: from from the home studio. I've settled into this. I

308
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: got my routine. Now I've got my new routine. It

309
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: does not involve going to the gym. I walk like

310
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: an old man randomly around the neighborhood I live in. Here,

311
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: go to a couple of cities. Actually walked through like

312
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: two three cities here. I walked that far. But uh yeah,

313
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: I'm I'm used to it. Now. You gotta, in fact,

314
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: the you gotta take the wife and just walk up

315
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: and down Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena. That's like, you know,

316
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: that's an easy walk and the streets are empty. That's

317
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: like an easy place to do that stuff. Like you

318
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: got the parks and a lot of stuff. I just yeah,

319
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 1: but let me tell you Pasadena, there's some sneaky crime

320
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: in Pasadena. I went to a gym just a little

321
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: north of Colorado Boulevard. I had some My car was

322
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 1: vandalized broken into. I was at the gym and they

323
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: said it happens all the time. They're just like, it's

324
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: really weird, like Pasadenia. It's it's more like there's a

325
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: lot of cities on the East Coast where it goes

326
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: from really wealthy to pretty poor rather quickly, and the

327
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: the crime seems to spike up there. All Right, A

328
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: new service is kind of something we've had in the past.

329
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: But a new survey found that more than seventy five

330
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: of Americans that were survey admitted to gaining as much

331
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: as blank number of pounds since the shutdown in the

332
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: United States. If we got the freshman fifteen, I will

333
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: say the COVID thirty five, thirty five, that's a lot.

334
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: Thirty five is a lot. Uh no, how about we

335
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: slice that a little less than half of that sixteen

336
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: pounds of love. Sixteen pounds that's not bad. You've gotta

337
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: figure people aren't going, Wow. It's kind of weird though,

338
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: right because if people are at home, they're not eating

339
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: fast food, so it just means they're cooking like fools,

340
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: or they're not exercising, and you know there's a combination, right, Yeah,

341
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: but if you if you eat good, you don't always

342
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: have to exercise. It just I mean, who the funk

343
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: wants to eat good? Come on? Please? Yeah, I definitely

344
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: know that. So be sure to catch live editions of

345
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: The Ben Maller Show week days at two am Eastern

346
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 1: eleven pm Pacific. Alright, let's get to study this. I

347
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 1: gotta up all leaves. Then we'll get to the mailbag. Uh.

348
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: It is not a myth. After this is a great,

349
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,959
Speaker 1: great story here from these science files that they now believe,

350
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: the scientists that they can figure out when earthquakes are

351
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: gonna happen based on farm animals. Farm animals, gas guy,

352
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: how about that? Get you? I was gonna say, I

353
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: gotta believe that because you have dogs that have a

354
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: great sense of things and and they're always responsive when

355
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: it comes to the emergency, responds to units. And that's

356
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: from from miles away. So farm animals assignment, especially here

357
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: in California, we need. We need all the help we

358
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: can get. You need the warning. Yeah. But then see

359
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: the problem with this is they'll get it right some

360
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: of the time, and they'll probably get it right wrong

361
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: a lot of the time, and then once you start

362
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: getting it wrong, people are like, that's bullshit. It's kind

363
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: of like when Hawaii got you know, the text message

364
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: alert saying uh, you know, missiles inbound or something like that.

365
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: Once you get that, you can like wait a minute.

366
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 1: But it says according to this, and these have obviously

367
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 1: been over the years anecdotal accounts. But the farm animals

368
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: and as you said, dogs and other pets before an earthquake,

369
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: they act different, they act weird. There's something going on there,

370
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: and so uh, never has there been any scientific evidence

371
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: to back that up, But now there has been. There's

372
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: a new study by a bunch of German scientists that

373
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: they claim show scientific evidence that supports the longstanding anecdotal report,

374
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: you know, evidence of people saying that odd animal behavior

375
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: does happen prior to earthquake, the earthquakes. The research suggesting

376
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm reading it right out of this that animals may

377
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: indeed provide the clues maze the way that was phrased

378
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: was weasel terminology, but that they can lead to telling

379
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: human beings when and where earthquakes are gonna happen. Well,

380
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: the nice thing is if these if these farm animals

381
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 1: are are wrong and they need a fallback plan, they

382
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: can always get into becoming a weather person, or they

383
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: could or they can create models for COVID nineteen deaths.

384
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: Those people are just off by, you know, hundreds and

385
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: thousands too, So it doesn't matter. And and you're never

386
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: the weather person is called out more than the person

387
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: who's making the doomsday prophecies. The peddic the panic peddling.

388
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: You never have to You never get called for it.

389
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: You never get called out for it. Neither does the

390
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: media that just go all over it and just love

391
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: the hell out of it. All right. This is something

392
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: that relates to a conversation I used to have all

393
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: the time with Looney. We used to talk about round

394
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: numbers and how important round numbers are with us. A

395
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: new study out that says consumers would rather have round

396
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: numbers even when the specific number is actually better news.

397
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: For example, we'll use the coronavirus. If they announced that

398
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: this magical potion, this vaccine that they're coming up with

399
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: is ninety one point two percent effective. According to this,

400
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: people are likely to think the vaccine is actually less

401
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: effective then if they said it was effective. So the

402
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: power of round numbers. Just like in Minnesota, they say

403
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: the land of ten thousand lakes, I think there's actually

404
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: eleven or twelve thousand. I think it's eleven thousands something

405
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: something lakes in Minnesota, but they go by ten thousand

406
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: because that's round numbers, marketing revenund round number. Any chance

407
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna go to the Twin Cities and anytime sooner,

408
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: verify that for us. Well, I have been to the

409
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: airport in Minnesota over the years, but I have not

410
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: spent any time. I would like to go to UH.

411
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: I was planning, I was planning on going, but I

412
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 1: don't know if I go to Minneapolis anytime soon. Now,

413
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: oh yeah, there's multiple reasons. But know so listen, it's

414
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: like it's like anything you gotta like. They're whack of

415
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: doodles in a lot of these cities, but you they're

416
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: in pockets. You've got to avoid the pockets of the

417
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: nut jobs and the loons and uh and then you

418
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: find the normal people that live out usually in the

419
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 1: suburbs or who knows where, but the people that aren't

420
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: trying to defund the police and those idiots. Anyway, all right,

421
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: what's what's the fascination with round numbers? Because you do

422
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: it all the time in marketing, right when you sell

423
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: something you have a listed price of like nineteen thousands

424
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: opposed to twenty thousand or or anything around about that. Yeah,

425
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's something about the human condition that

426
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: people love round numbers. It's like satisfying, and they've they've

427
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: figured it out, like in baseball, Uh, if you have

428
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 1: a three batting average, that's much more impressive than hitting too.

429
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: But it's one percentage point right, and it's like, what

430
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 1: the hell? And so I actually there was a study

431
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: on this I read a while back that said something

432
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: to the effect that it's because if you if you

433
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: count human beings, you have ten right fingers. And that's

434
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: a film. Including the film, obviously you have ten and

435
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: so uh, there's a there's a theory that it's linked

436
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: to the fact that we have ten fingers, and it's

437
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: some kind of weird evolutionary quirk. It's like, why do

438
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: we yawn? And why why is yawn? What when somebody yawns,

439
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: like around you you you can't help yourself, but yawn.

440
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: That's interesting. It is one of the weird things that

441
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: they haven't been able to figure out. But it's I

442
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: think that's because of the fingers. So if somewhere there's

443
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: a parallel universe guesscout where they have, you know, let's

444
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: say like thirteen fingers, then they would like not they

445
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: w W want round numbers, they'd be they'd be more

446
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: attracted to to odd numbers. And I and I actually

447
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: I have read that it's the exact opposite that you

448
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 1: want to negotiate. If you're ever negotiating a contract, you

449
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: can always have a range of numbers with round or

450
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: even numbers. But they say that once you get to

451
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: your sweet spot on a dollar amount that you want,

452
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: you've got to make sure you throw something that's completely

453
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: ambiguous or just thought to be benign. So if your

454
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: negotation for twenty dollars, but you say instead I want

455
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: twenty one thousand five, the person on the other side's

456
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: gonna be like, well, wait a minute, like how did

457
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 1: you get that number? And they'll think in process that

458
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: you actually took the time to compound your your analysis

459
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: in a thoughtful manner, that they'd be more inclined to

460
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: believe that as opposed to you saying, hey, I want

461
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: twenty dollars. Ah, so you have to you have to

462
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: add on to it. And it's it's strange also because

463
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: we love round numbers, but in shopping when you set

464
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: a price like on the internet for a product or

465
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: or for gasoline for example, right, like that nine tense

466
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: thing just is so fucked up that the gas is

467
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: allowed to do that. But but no, it's like instead

468
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: of forty dollars, you say thirty. If you buy a product, uh,

469
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's ninety nine dollars instead of a hundred.

470
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: Because that's one of the examples where people think they're

471
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 1: getting a great deal when in reality, you know, just

472
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: people's instinct to be tight wads like me here, you know,

473
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: and and be frugal. And he's like, well I'm getting

474
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 1: a deal. It's not it's on sale or it's less

475
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: than it's less than twenty bucks. It's you know, like okay, anyway, alright,

476
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: moving on, we have mail bag. These are actual questions

00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: was your ultimate goal to work in sports? That was

487
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: from from Chris and Edmonton. Well, Chris, technically, my first

488
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 1: job in broadcasting was at the college radio station k

489
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: s b R eight point five on the FM dial,

490
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 1: keeping a jazz commercial free. But that was that was

491
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: My My first commercial radio job was with the station

492
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: in San Diego, which was actually in Mexico, and that

493
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: was it was a Baja California Mexico Extra Sports six

494
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: ninety and uh, yeah, I wanted to work in sports.

495
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to be the voice of the Dodgers. But

496
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: unfortunately Vince Scully never retired where it was in in

497
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: my wheelhouse, so that never happened. But yeah, I love

498
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: sports and I thought, hey, be a good life to

499
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: work in sports. What about you, gas, Um, Well, I yeah,

500
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: I always wanted to. Well, I didn't want to be

501
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: in sports talk radio. I wanted to play professionally and

502
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: it and it shows by the way it certainly does not,

503
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: at least when when it talks about you and you

504
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,959
Speaker 1: and I on camera. Um, But I wanted to be

505
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: a professional athlete. I played college football, I play a

506
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: little bit of college baseball, but I always had the

507
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,719
Speaker 1: ambition of playing professionally like you know most people do.

508
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: And then I, um, I needed to escape after college,

509
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: and so I got in the sales. I always wanted

510
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: to be in a sportscaster after that, but that was

511
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: more along the lines of just kind of like you said,

512
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: on the footsteps of Ben Scully and some of the

513

Speaker 1: would be entertaining. I don't know that Fats could handle

606
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: being on island for too much two months, because I

607
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: don't think you'd have like Ribi steak, and you wouldn't

608
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: be able to make pretzels and things like that. I

609
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: think that would be a problem. All right, Uh, this

610
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: one's from in in Boston, He says, Ben, do you

611
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: ever want to kill yourself? After reading? How stupid some

Speaker 1: have you heard the radio show? This is actually the

615
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 1: best of the best year the Kreme de la Creme.

616
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: Then some of the calls we take, Oh my god,

617
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: Tim and Cadillac Michigan says, hey, big Ben, this is

618
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: for both of you. If you could only have one

619
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: streaming service for the rest of your life, which one

620
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: would you pick? And why I love the show? Can't

621
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: wait for my non shout out. Yeah, I'm not gonna

622
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: give you a shout out to him In Cadillac Michigan.

623
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: Do they have to change the name of Cadillac Michigan

624
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: because the Cadillac is not really cool anymore? And I'm

625
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: sure at one point it was considered cool. So do

626
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: they have to change the name of that. I don't know,

627
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe not to cancel it for some

628
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: stupid benign reason. Yeah. Yeah, Well, the Cadillac is for

629
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,760
Speaker 1: wealthy people, and so you you're really disparaging poor people

630
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: when you have a city named Cadillac Michigan. So it

631
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: used to be canceled, right, You're mocking poorness and celebrating

632
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: elitism with Cadillac Michigan. Uh. I watched the streaming services

633
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 1: pretty much exclusively these days because there's no sports to watch,

634
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: So I don't need to worry about watching any of

635
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: the sports that I used to watch because there's no

636
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: no sports. Uh So, I mean I guess Netflix, I

637
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: guess they have the most stuff, But you know, I

638
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: usually we have Netflix and we'll rotate Hulu, but I

639
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: got commercials on that. I don't really like that. What

640
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 1: about YouTube? Yeah, YouTube's YouTube's a really good that that

641
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: probably has more than anything. So yeah, and there's some

642
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,919
Speaker 1: actually sneaky good documentaries on YouTube that are hidden and

643
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: hard to find, but when you find them, you're like, wow,

644
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. In fact, that the big chicken documentary

645
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,720
Speaker 1: I think was on YouTube when we uh we did

646
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: podcast about that. So yeah, YouTube you YouTube. Yeah, I'd

647
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: go to YouTube for sure. All right. Barry in Chattanooga, Tennessee, says,

648
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: if sports talk radio had not worked out, what do

649
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: you think you would be doing for a living? Well,

650
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: first of all, how do you know it's worked out?

651
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: Have you seen my finances? Barry? Uh in debt up

652
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: the wazoo. But no, I I would have figured something out.

653
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: I I often have said my my dream is to

654
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: work at Costco, and I still might end up doing

655
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: that if this, if sports don't come back, I might

656
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: have to apply over there. But uh yeah, I don't know.

657
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: I mean maybe a lawyer. I wasn't really into academia

658
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: and you have to do a lot of that to

659
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 1: become a lawyer, to pass the bar and all that.

660
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: But I think from an argument standpoint, I could I

661
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: would be a decent lawyer at least I have that

662
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: in me. Some of my family thought I should have

663
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: been a lawyer, but yeah, and that's you don't know.

664
00:37:55,560 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: Every decision it closes another door, right You you open one,

665
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: you close another. So I guess in another dimension, I

666
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: didn't become a radio guy, and I had to get

667
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: a different job. And yeah, but you had. I had, Uh,

668
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: the only other jobs I've had out of radio, I

669
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: worked the newspaper delivery guy. That was my first jobs.

670
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: And then I also worked for my mom's business. I

671
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 1: had a sales job briefly, but that's that's it. I'm

672
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: surprised he didn't say political talk radio. Well, that might

673
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: be coming if sports don't come back. Well, sports have

674
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: really turned into political radio. Everything's political when it fits

675
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 1: the agenda, you know. And uh, Deshan Jackson says something

676
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: anti semitic. Those guys that are out there virtue signaling

677
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 1: and prol clutching suddenly shut up. They have nothing to

678
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: say about de Sean Jackson and a bunch of hypocrites.

679
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: We ripped the hell out of him the other night

680
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: on the show, which Uh, Steven Jackson. Boy, what a

681
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: fraud that I turned out to be hunt jeez. Yeah,

682
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of there's a lot of hustling going

683
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 1: on right now. So I it's just the climbate we're in,

684
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: right I Mean, everybody's getting paid off some way somehow,

685
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 1: and you know, everyone's trying to be ahead of the curve,

686
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:19,240
Speaker 1: and that's what Lebron, who's been proven to be anti Semitic.

687
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: I go back to google Lebron anti Semitic. So he

688
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 1: really couldn't enter the chat because he's got his own

689
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: skeletons in his closet there, But all those other guys

690
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: could have done it anyway. Pierre in Springfield, Massachusetts, the

691
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 1: hometown of my dearly departed grandfather. He says, can you

692
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: please pay off your tease and elaborate on some of

693
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:45,439
Speaker 1: the plans that you and Roberto have for the Astros

694
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 1: when they come to Dodger Stadium? All right, So I'll

695
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: say this, this is only for the p one, the

696
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: extreme p ones that listen to this podcast. So me

697
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: and Roberto have been talking about getting a band of

698
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:04,240
Speaker 1: misfits together and and heckling the Astros at their hotel.

699
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 1: All right. Now, you can find out where these teams

700
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: are staying. There's a couple of hotels in the l

701
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: A area that are like highly rated where the team stay.

702
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: So I think this would be great to get a

703
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: bunch of guys with like signs and we'll just we'll

704
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: call it a protest, and then King Newsome will allow

705
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: us to do it. I think it'll be fun. Wouldn't

706
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: be great When the Astros come out of the hotel

707
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: to get on the bus, they hear like cow bells

708
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: and boom out, boo bay and all that to be wonderful. Yeah.

709
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: I remember one of the shows that you were you

710
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: were hosting. I was up it was like twelve or

711
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: one o'clock in the morning, and I have a friend

712
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 1: of mine who works at a hotel that the Astros

713
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,720
Speaker 1: stayed out during the seventeen World Series, and she texted

714
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 1: me during the fight that A. J. Hinch had gotten

715
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: into I don't know if you remember that, but he

716
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: was he got into a fight like a hotel bar

717
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: and lobby area. And so she texted me and she's like, yeah,

718
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:04,760
Speaker 1: that that story, you know accurate? So well they spun

719
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: the story to make it seem like he was like

720
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: a totally innocent Do you think that's actually what happened

721
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: that he was. Yeah. Yeah, And especially in the in

722
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 1: the you know, hindsight being as they say, when you

723
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: look back at what lying this these assholes in Houston did,

724
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: I'm thinking A. J. Hinch was the insider, he was

725
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,720
Speaker 1: the instigator. Uh. Proved me wrong. Proved me wrong. He's

726
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: he's a liar, he's a cheat, he got suspended, proved

727
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,399
Speaker 1: me wrong, cannot do it all right anyway. Uh, let's

728
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: see Trucker Joe. Our guy. Trucker Joe in Pennsylvania and

729
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: Parts Unknown says, if you can pick one fictional monster

730
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: to be real, for example, the lock Nest monster, big Foot,

731
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: up a cabra along those lines, what would you pick? Well,

732
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: the big one would be big Foot, right, because how

733
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: many people have made money on documentaries and movies and

734
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: written books about big Foot? But yet no one's found

735
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 1: the skeletal remains of Bigfoot. So they must bury other Bigfoots,

736
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 1: must bury Bigfoots for those to be too well. Yeah,

737
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 1: big for any mythical character. Guess what about Chewbacca? Yeah

738
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: you want to go Hollywood about Darth Vader or damn good? Yeah?

739
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: All right, I mean talking about a mythical character. If

740
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: he's on your side, you got the force since came over.

741
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 1: I'm surprised. I'm surprised you didn't pick winning the pool.

742
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 1: I thought you would pick winning the pool, didn't? Yeah?

743
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: Or big bird? Alright? Alright? Moving on. Jess from Pomona

744
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: in so Cow says, hey, Ben, if you had to choose,

745
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: which one would you choose? And why either the Dodgers

746
00:42:55,360 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: or the Clippers win at all? Uh this year? And Jesse, listen,

747
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: this is a question I get asked a lot, and

748
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: I love my Dodgers, and I'm looking forward to watching

749
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: the Dodgers this season. But the answer here is the Clippers,

750
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:14,240
Speaker 1: because it would upset to no end the Laker historians,

751
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: who would just be in tears, Guys like gag On

752
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: the West of the four oh five crowd, the one

753
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,399
Speaker 1: per centers, the Hollywood elites. They would be shipping their

754
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: pants to watch the Clippers win a championship, and it

755
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: would be magical. It would cement Kauai Leonard as the

756
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,240
Speaker 1: greatest player in NBA history. Three championships with three different

757
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 1: teams as the lead dog. Proved me wrong. Proved me wrong,

758
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard. If he wins a championship with the Clippers,

759
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: he trumps Jordan's, he trumps Bill Russell, He trumps Uh,

760
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: all of the greats, all of the greats in NBA.

761
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant, Sorry, Kobe, I know You're gone. Lebron James, sorry,

762
00:43:54,880 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: bye bye. So the Clippers I'm not disagreeing with y Leonard.

763
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: I think he is the best player in the game

764
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: right now, but there's no chance in hell he trump's

765
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: all of those guys like he does. That is a

766
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: that is a greater career accompt I don't want go

767
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: all sporting on you, but that's a greater career accomplishment

768
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: to win the first championship with Toronto in the Clippers,

769
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,240
Speaker 1: all right, to franchises that are known to be woe

770
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: beyond teams, and to prove that it's he wasn't just

771
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: a product of the Spurs and being around those good

772
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 1: players in San Antonio, that he was the good player.

773
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: So that's the Clippers. I don't I'm surprised they'll be okay,

774
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 1: because if this is another sitting in another franchise, I

775
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: think you'd be more inclined to say the Dodgers, just

776
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: because the losing team is always the better story, even

777
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: when they get to the World Series, the NBA Finals,

778
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 1: or whatever it may be in the Super Bowl, because

779
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: people love the losers, like the Cubs for so long

780
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:56,479
Speaker 1: right on the win. In media, if you're a radio host,

781
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: you love the losers. If you're a sports writer, you

782
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,720
Speaker 1: love the losers. But if you're a fan, you love winners.

783
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: You love winners. If you're fans, Fox Sports Radio has

788
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 1: he says, if you could topple any statue in sports,

789
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: who's would it be? For me? The choice is clear,

790
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 1: it would be the Bud Selix statue outside Miller Park

791
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: in walk O. I don't know if Matt's from Wisconsin,

792
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: he says he's listening in Texas. Uh. Yeah, I would

793
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: say that Peyton Manning statue in Indianapolis is the obvious one.

794
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: Take that statue down. Peyton Manning oppressed my people, take

795
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 1: him down, Please chop him down. Where is Antifa when

796
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: you need them? Take Peyton Manning down? Horrible? What about you?

797
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: He is the symbol of Indianapolis. I can't think of

798
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: many I can't think of many statues that are actually

799
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 1: like like worthwhile to eat. I mean, the one statue

800
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: that needs to stay up no matter what is the

801
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: Rocky statue right in Philadelphia, like you can't. You can't

802
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: touch that. No matter what I think that one is

803
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: is uh as hollow ground. Um, I'm trying to think

804
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: of even like, what are the statues are out there

805
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 1: that are notable figures that are good you If you

806
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 1: want to blow have your mind blown, go on the

807
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: internet and do a search of sports statues. There are

808
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: so many random people that have statues that are in sports.

809
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:35,760
Speaker 1: It's just mind boggling. I love the fact that broadcasters

810
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: have gotten statues. I know in Chicago they have the

811
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: Harry Carry statue in l A They've got and Bob

812
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: Miller has a statue out in front of uh Staples Center.

813
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: Did any of those get touched? Any of those Staples

814
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,280
Speaker 1: Center statues? Did theyn't even try to tear them? There's

815
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: no way I can't imagine them touching those, right. Maybe Gretzky,

816
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: you know he didn't, he never even he never even

817
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: played it. A lot of those guys didn't even play

818
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: at the Staples Center. Complix anyway, all right, Uh Greg

819
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: from Riverside, So this is a question for you, Ben.

820
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: Do you fart in front of your wife? And does

821
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: your wife fart in front of you? Well? Thank you, Greg?

822
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:15,800
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I think we we both it has happened.

823
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: We both try to avoid it the times it's most

824
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: likely to happen. And you'll learn this someday, guess ghun.

825
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 1: When you're in a hotel no, no, When you're in

826
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: a hotel room and there's really because there's nearly no

827
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: way to go. You know, if you're in the house

828
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: and you're about you're you're feeling a big moist fart,

829
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: you can go in the other room, you know, you know,

830
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: you can kind of walk out. They don't normally just

831
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 1: pop up out of the blue, so you have some time.

832
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: But when you're in a hotel room, what do you

833
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm gonna go down to a lobby or

834
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 1: run out to the hallway to check the mail. You

835
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: can you can put the suppressor on, ben, You can

836
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: sit straight up on your on your bed, on your

837
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,839
Speaker 1: hotel bed. Is that right? Is that there? They put

838
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: the suppressor on, then it's all good. It's even worse

839
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: if you go to the rest room because all of

840
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: a sudden, the acoustics and it's just this loud echo.

841
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: It's like kaboom, no chance that's happening. Carlos in Houston,

842
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 1: right since this did you guys have my Space? If

843
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 1: you all did, that's a good by the way. You know,

844
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: Carlos is authentic texting when he says, y'all, that's authentic

845
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 1: texting right there. Who was on your top friends list? Yeah,

846
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. You can check I have. My MySpace

847
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: page is still up and it's I was pretty fat.

848
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 1: But you can look at photos from the my Space

849
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 1: when when I originally did the Overnight show during the

850
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: week with Karen Kay, Uh, we had my Space page

851
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: and that was like the big thing that was that

852
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: was more popular than the Facebook when it came around.

853
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: I think they started around the same time MySpace and

854
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 1: face Facebook. My Space was before Facebook was it, but

855
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 1: my Space was pretty popular at one point and then uh, Karen,

856
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: Karen had a drop. We played a lot back in

857
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 1: those days. My Space is huge, you know that kind

858
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,359
Speaker 1: of thing. But I think my top my top eight

859
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 1: were just hot girls don't even know who they were,

860
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 1: just connected to them and all of a sudden, like

861
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: hot put them up there and they didn't know who

862
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 1: you were either. All right, thank you very much. Barry

Speaker 1: from Chattanooga says, do you regularly listen to sports talk

864
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:23,760
Speaker 1: radio shows. If so who Uh, No, I don't burry

865
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: I I when I do, I listen to my friends.

866
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 1: People I liked it are good people. Petro's papad because

867
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:32,439
Speaker 1: I like to petrol, some money show and I'm driving

868
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: around l A. They used to work at Fox Sports Radio.

869
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: Tony Bruno, We've had on the podcast Jerry Callahan, who's

870
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: got a podcast in Boston. I'll listen to Jerry. Uh,

871
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: some of some of those guys. Uh, you know, there's

872
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: there's a few others were randomly listened to. But yeah,

873
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: I don't go out of my way. Uh, usually listen

874
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:55,720
Speaker 1: to something else because it's like taking if you even

875
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: live at the beach, taking sand home to the you

876
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 1: know your home. You know it's you have, you have

877
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:05,959
Speaker 1: it there. I'm immersed in sports radio all the time.

878
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 1: Plus I don't want to steal somebody else's stuff. So

879
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: you guess got you a big consumer of sports radio. No,

880
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 1: I mean I'll listen to the network, but when I'm

881
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 1: there eight nine, ten hours out of the day, I

882
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 1: refused to listen to anything else just because I just

883
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: I'm over it. I'm tired of it, and I mean,

884
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 1: I listened to Jim Rome especially, you know sometimes well

885
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 1: go on YouTube and I'll listen to his old segments

886
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: just for great laughs, before um, he became really corporate.

887
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 1: But you know, back in the day, you were in

888
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 1: six ninety and I used to listen to that station

889
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 1: all the time. He just there was no holds barred

890
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: and he would just let it rip. But yeah, I'll

891
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 1: listen to him at times. Obviously I'll listen to the

892
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,919
Speaker 1: network and on I Heart, But I have a tough

893
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 1: time listen to a lot of guys that, you know,

894
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 1: because of the climate that we're in right now, it

895
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 1: is really just either one way or the other. And

896
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: and god forbid if there's any kind of pushback the set,

897
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: and I think it's just worth where we're at right now.

898
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: You can really see like the true colors shining, or

899
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 1: you can see just a lack of content. Listen, guys

900
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: out there that just have absolutely no way know how

901
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 1: to entertain. And I think it's just an indictment on

902
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm a talent, like thereover right now. Yeah, It's something

903
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,319
Speaker 1: I've always said, like this job is really easy. When

904
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: you're it's around Super Bowl time and there's a big

905
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: game and you can talk about it and it's it's

906
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 1: funny because traditionally, the the the way the industry worked

907
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 1: in sports radio is the guys would always take vacation

908
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 1: around the All Star break in the summer because it

909
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,240
Speaker 1: was only baseball and there wasn't once the NBA Finals

910
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,799
Speaker 1: ended in training camp hadn't started in football. There was

911
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 1: like that sweet spot, and some guys named it the

912
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: dead zone because they dreaded coming in and having to

913
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: talk about just baseball and having nothing else to talk about,

914
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: even though they were like always in retrospect, they're always

915
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,800
Speaker 1: NBA rumors with free agents and there's always like stuff.

916
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, the last couple of months, what do we

917
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 1: a hundred over a hundred and twenty days now since

918
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: the apocalypse started for the US sports And yeah, I

919
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: mean it's not as I will say, there's not as

920
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:16,800
Speaker 1: much variety, but there's stuff. You just gotta you gotta

921
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 1: dig below the surface to find the stuff. Oh yeah,

922
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,800
Speaker 1: I mean you look at your show case and point

923
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 1: you have an entire segment that is dedicated to the

924
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 1: NFL offseason and guys getting in trouble for doing stupid ship.

925
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, and there's nothing wrong with that. Listen. If

926
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: it's if the players don't do stupid ship, the bit

927
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: goes away and we all we always issue the disclaimer

928
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 1: before that, saying we hope no one gets arrested and

929
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 1: no one has problems with the law. And every year, yeah,
