WEBVTT - I'm a Pilot! (Act 1) 0:00:00.880 --> 0:00:05.400 Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.120 week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants 0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:12.400 of the old republic a sole fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:15.440 treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:19.560 rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of 0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:23.360 hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:27.800 with Ben Maller starts right now that it does, and 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:33.239 we are in the air everywhere the vast power of 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:37.400 the I Heart podcast network a global reach. We are 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:41.120 not held down by the radio signal on this dopey 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:43.599 little podcast that we do every week. Because four hours 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:47.959 on the overnight, five days a week not enough, we 0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:51.360 need to harass you and stake your time away on 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:54.320 the weekend. So here it is the Fifth Hour with 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:57.480 Ben Mallard and uh, because apparently I can't do this 0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:01.880 by myself. The dead weight of the fifth are my guy, 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:05.480 David Gascon. If you want to have somebody valet park 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.759 for you, hired David Gascon for your party. People will 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.480 love the fund that he provides. Well, you hit the 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:13.759 nail right on the head, because no, you cannot do 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:17.640 this without me. So it wouldn't sound as good. Uh, 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.880 you wouldn't sound as bad. Let me tell you something 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.840 right now, gas, Okay, I did. When I was doing 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.520 stuff at w e I, there were nights I was 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:31.080 on a nighttime show in a blizzard. The only people 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:34.480 listening were the people driving around the Boston area in 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:39.080 snow plow trucks. That was it, period, hard stop. It 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.880 was pretty much me reading out of a phone book 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.640 for for like four hours or whatever. That was back 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.200 in the day, a couple of years ago. So and 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:52.080 that was amazing. That sounds as a Marconi winning radio station. 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:54.160 By the way, how about that. Yeah, it's it's probably 0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:57.280 equivalent of the crackheads that listened to you money through Fridays. 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:00.400 So well, again, you're very jealous of the people follow 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.920 me around there. They're called the Mallar Militia. They hate you. 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.400 They think of you as the stuff behind the toilet. 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:07.240 That's they tell me all the time. That's not true. 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.359 Jay Scoop actually personally email me just a couple of 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:13.960 days ago and invited me to uh to visit him, 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:17.040 to visit the better halves up in the Pacific Northwest, 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:19.640 and I I will gladly accept that invitation. Here in 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:21.720 the near future. Well, Jay Scoop is very nice, but 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.400 he behind your back trash is you. I want you 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.040 to know that. He has told me many times what 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.240 a scumbag you are, and so it's a I don't 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.040 know what he's doing with that. He probably has ulterior motives. 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.640 That's not true. Terry Scoop is a He's a senior 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.320 general in the Mallar militias. So this guy has some juice, 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.240 he's got some weights. So Terry overseas has wanted to 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.240 come on and talk to us on the podcast. Um, 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.040 I will go, So why don't you do that? I mean, 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.760 we we talked about this. I had brought this up 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:51.600 right away the first podcast. I said, hey, we can 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:55.600 sit down and end to a brief BS segment with 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.160 Chris and Houston for example. Now it's not worth it 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:01.000 like Terry would be worth it. I'm a pilot would 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.480 be worth it. I know he's proud. If you want 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.359 you want to put the pilot on, why not? Yeah? 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.000 Because you want to get those buddy passes is what 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:10.960 you want to get. I know what you're up to, guests, Dan, 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.320 I'm all, I know exactly what you're you're up to. 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.160 You're so disingenuous here. I'm not going to care about 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.480 the pilot at all. You're just like, hey, this guy 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.200 can help me. You are such an l A weasel 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.600 is what you are? You deem it necessary if someone 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.720 can help you. How dare you? You know? Chris and 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.359 Houston cannot help me at all? Filexis the drag queen 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:35.000 in Rochester or Buffalo now, cannot help me. Mark the 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.320 full name guy is a psychopath. Cannot help me. But 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.880 you know what, I still put him on. How about that? Well, yeah, 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.320 because you need breaks during your four hour show. That's 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.880 not a break. No, it's not a break. It's stressful 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:53.840 call in radio show. It is stressful. Is that what 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.960 you said? Stressful? It is? It is he's got Let 0:03:58.000 --> 0:03:59.720 me tell you. I took a call from Doc Mike 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.800 the other day, and Doc Mike is like Archie Bunker, 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:07.040 which I guess is an outdated reference now. But Doc 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:11.640 uses the same language he used which society allowed when 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.120 he was, you know, twenty years old or whatever. But 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.480 docs can't believe Doc's getting up there. He started he's 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.400 calling my show. He was in his fifties. Now he's 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:24.440 in his seventies. Holy crap. Uh, well, no, he Doc 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:26.760 what he came back from Ecuador. That's where he goes. 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.520 He goes to Ecuador. But he's back in Chicago now, 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:33.480 and uh, you know, he's talking about the coronavirus. And 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:37.360 so Doc does a little six minute monologue about how 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.920 you need to drink your own piss uh to to 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.640 beat the coronavirus, and in the middle of that, then 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:47.080 talks about the origins of the coronavirus and uses a 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:51.640 patently racist term about our brothers and sisters of the 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.320 Asian community. And I said, Doc, what are you doing. 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.000 You can't say that on the radio. Why would you say? Well, 0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:00.520 when I grew up that I'd rather let's into that. 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.160 Then you have Chris and Houston be a jackass and 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:10.560 start talking about guys, wives and girlfriends. Yeah, Chris, like 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:16.919 accusing you on the live air this week of being 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.320 into some shenanis. In fact, I was gonna save that 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:23.240 for the grab bag because there I'm getting questions now 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.479 if you get that asshole on every one of our 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.720 shows on Fox Sports ready to asking other hosts about 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.760 Brian Family's mom, Like, who gives a shit about Brian 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.880 Family's mom? But this idiot not in Houston wants to 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.120 worry about other people's part of the problem. And I 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:40.520 love Brian, But Brian, he offered up the fact that 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.640 his mom was in like Playboy or something. But who 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:48.600 cares these guys? Apparently only one guy cares. It's the 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.599 guy that's probably not getting laid period. That's Chris and Houston. 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:55.120 Well what about Justin and Cincinnati. Justin I think he 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:59.400 went on eBay and bought the Playboy or said he 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:03.120 was gonna buy the Playboy. Yeah, I wonder if it's 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:06.480 in mid condition, Like, do you those are obviously collectible items, 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.960 So do you think it's in those paper sleeves that 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.760 I don't I don't know, Yes, I like those could 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:14.320 be like the old school, you know, like when we 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.000 were younger at the Becketts, those baseball cards that would 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.080 have the values and those and those things were framed 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.279 all the time, and it was all bullshit. It was 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.960 all a scam. I watched that documentary on baseball cards 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.799 that ruined my entire childhood. I was wasting my time 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:31.120 whittling away with these stupid baseball cards. Meanwhile, the greedy 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.080 card sharks, the people that were behind the card companies, 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:38.920 were printing up endless amounts of cards because it was Chiching, Chaching, Chiching. 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.120 All the dumb twelve year olds would run out and 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.440 buy the cards. And yeah, but I got a bunch 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:46.320 of questions actually Colin in Denver, and I'm gonna say 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:48.320 most of these two the grab bag says, and this 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.520 is just an example. What's the true nature of Gascon 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:55.440 and Ben's wife's relationship? That's from and this is a 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:59.080 direct result of of christ and Houston. Well, part of 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:02.039 it's because we're in the same age bracket. Uh. The 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.159 other part is we're actually the ones that go to 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:08.240 the gym, not you. Um. The other part, what do 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:09.840 you talk I go to the gym more of my wife. 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:13.160 We're talking about we're extroverts. You're an introvert. There's all 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.240 these dynamics that come into place. The other one is 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.680 this as we are both the crutches and the anchors 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:23.000 for Ben Mallory. Because Ben Mallory, when you eat somebody, 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.680 you're there calling your wife or you're calling me. So 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.960 that's not true. That is true, not true at all. 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:34.119 That is factually true. Listen, I am in my zen 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:39.000 right now because everyone and the mother is going batshit 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:42.680 crazy over this coronavirus, and they're telling people to not 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:46.360 go out. Well, that's the life I've lived. This is 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:50.000 my life. Finally the world is coming to me. And 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.800 it's okay to be a shrinking violet. It's not bad 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.520 to be a potted plant. Just don't leave your house. 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.679 That's I mean, this is wonderful, this is great. See. 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:02.200 And that's why I've always said that radio people I've 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.160 been in the radio business entire life, are introverts. TV 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.520 people are extroverts. So you're really a TV person pretending 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:11.640 to be a radio person. That's why it's so awkward. 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:13.880 I'm a hybrid, you know. Speaking of that, I'm glad 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.200 you brought that up, because I actually had someone, uh 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:21.320 send me a note and a screenshot of some don't 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.080 do that dog? Do that? You dirty dog? That's made it? 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:26.480 Sent that your dirty dog? What do you mean it's 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.320 you that. I know what you're I know what you're 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:31.160 about to say. No, that's I'm aware of what you're 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.520 about to say. No, you're not. Yes, I know you're 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:37.560 not hand the guy. I will I will bet you tacos. 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.439 I'll bet you a drink on Saturday. How about that. 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:42.559 I'll bet your drinks. Yeah, well, I don't even know 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:44.360 if you're gonna be allowed to go on saturdays of 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:47.400 your horse and you still haven't paid up the Super 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:50.040 Bowl bet where I picked Kansas City to win. We can. 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.600 By the way, was it a ninth horse that died 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:56.320 at Santa Anita last week? Damn? I missed it. Another horse. 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.800 I gotta get sin and maybe I'll go tomorrow Santa Anita. 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.040 I don't know this weekend, I might have to go 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.360 out to send any Do you think there'll be anybody 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:07.120 out there? What do you think anybody will be there? Oh? Yeah, 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:11.560 I believe it. The horse horse people understand that it 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.800 is a part of the sport. Horses are gonna die. 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.480 Uh maybe not as much as they do it they 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.640 need to. But but it's the the animal rights whackles. 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.800 The people don't understand horse racing are freaking out. The 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:26.000 people at the track are like, they're not freaking out there. 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.520 Horse racing people that's what they do. They live that life. 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:31.840 They love the smell of horse shit in the morning. 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:33.760 They can't get enough of it. Yeah, but I'm talking 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.080 about just people like the patrons, like people showing up 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.080 to watch. Most people don't care listen that it's all 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.480 bullshit in the meeting. Most people don't give a crap. 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.240 They're out there and they want to have a good time, 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.760 watch the races. Bet a couple of bucks, have a 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:47.880 beer and a hot dog and go home. But they're 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.760 not worried about all that other ba humbug crap. Yeah, 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:52.880 but we got California on a on a on the 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:56.040 statewide California is fucked up? What do you want from California? 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.679 It's it's a messed up places. The state of emergency 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:02.800 here according to uh to our great governor, Oh, because 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:07.960 of the coronavirus. Coronavirus. So yeah, get that. Get that. 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:12.280 Federal money is what that's code for. Anyways, what's on 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:14.160 the what's on the agenda today? With the All right, 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:17.440 so we have a voter anxiety, but not what you 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:21.400 think you forgot something we have that. We have a 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:26.480 dark cloud grab bag and study this and possibly if 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.960 we have time, don't stick to sports stories of the week. 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:34.120 Tremendously excited, but we begin with voter anxiety. And now 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.280 we had the election. It was Super Tuesday for those 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:40.079 of us to live in Super Tuesday states, I got 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.840 out and voted, made sure to promote myself, pat myself 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:44.960 on the back, I pulled the J. J. Watt, made 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:46.640 sure to take a photo of me with my little 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.520 sticker that I got for voting. They're very exciting. Took 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:51.319 a photo of the outside. I can't take a photo 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.400 of the inside of the voting room, but I took 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.240 a photo of the outside and some signs and whatnot. 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.520 And the general consensus is, boy, I would never live 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:02.440 in that from the people in the mallary militia, like 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.560 what are you doing? But I did vote. I voted 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:06.800 as I always do my voter or guide book. I 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.280 learned this when I was a kid. Uh, anything that 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:15.160 involves a taxation an increase of funds in air quotes, 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.840 which is a weasel term, I immediately vote no. I 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:20.600 don't care if it's for kids, I don't care if 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.720 it's for sick people, I vote no. There's enough money 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:28.040 in the tax realm, just move it around, dummies. And 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.640 the politicians can't seem to figure this out. And the 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:32.600 voters are a bunch of idiot, especially in the state 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.360 I live in, and they continue. I know my votes 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.680 wasted because all these other idiots vote yes on everything. 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:42.280 I'm still upset about the gas tax from last year. 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.880 I've not allowed that to go. I'm still bitter every 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:49.280 time I buy gas, and I think every asshole, every 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:54.080 Mama Luke Schmendrick around me is responsible for me paying 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.440 an extra twenty cents a gallon because their ship heads. 0:11:58.240 --> 0:11:59.640 I had a buddy of I have a buddy of 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.800 mine sent me a snapshot of of him filling up 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:06.640 his gas tank in Oklahoma City. Uh gas at that 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:08.920 time a few days ago or a few weeks ago. 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.959 Excuse me, it was two dollars. Oh yeah, it's it's 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:15.600 a it's ridiculous, it's it's but it's total gouging. And 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:19.440 they put all there's a special brew or special blend, 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.160 they say, in the gas in California because the the 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:25.959 again the environmental wackos that you know, you have to 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:27.920 have a different thing and all that, and maybe that's true, 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.040 but it shouldn't cost that much. I believe they are 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.839 taking liberties, much like the insurance industry, you know, and 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:36.440 they know we'll charge you thirty five dollars for an 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.160 aspirin and when you go to the hospital, you know, 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.400 that kind of stuff. But don't worry, because we need 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:43.360 to tax everybody here in California because after all, we 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:46.240 are the fifth largest economy in the entire world. So 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:49.200 therefore we have to tax you more on top of 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:51.280 that tax, and on top of that tax. So now 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:54.000 you can help me out on this gas. What percentage 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.280 of people have to be shipping in the streets before 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.640 you become a third world country? Like, because I know 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.640 in where I live it's a regular occurrence when I'm 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:04.079 driving into work, I see, look, there's a pile of 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.640 feces over there. It's a it's out of control. Like, 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.160 how many people have to at the same time ship 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.320 in the street before it becomes a world Well, no, 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:15.120 don't worry about that because now in San Francisco, there's 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:18.000 also a new uh, there's a new rule that's in 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:22.000 place because the Attorney General there that if you if 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:26.439 you commit robbery and it's with an item or anything 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:30.480 worth less than a thousand dollars, you get issued a 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.240 mere citation. Now that's good. I don't know if you 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:34.680 saw us a couple of days ago, but it won't 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:38.160 viral video in San Francisco were three women went into 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:42.360 a beauty store and started putting trash bags worth of 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:45.600 beauty products in their bags, and these women that were 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.840 obviously there in the store saying telling me the women 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.320 to leave, They couldn't. They just left. They left with 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.679 all those stolen items in there, and all at worst 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.440 you would get a citation for that because those products 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.880 were valued at less than a thousand dollars. So that's 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:04.360 the that is the state that we're in. So that's 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.240 really just if you're a criminal, you've got to have 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:08.920 a calculator to make sure you don't go over the threshold. 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:10.920 As long as you don't go over a thousand dollars, 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:14.240 then you're in in good shape there. I've seen the 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.360 story in New York. Hey, in New York, which is California, 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:20.760 the East coast, they have guys robbing banks and then 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.480 getting let go because it was a non violent they 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.320 didn't use a weapon, and they got like go and 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:30.960 then go robbs somebody else. It's it's good, go ahead, 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.320 knock yourself out. But if you call these people out, 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:39.320 you're insensitive, you're politically incorrect. Uh yeah, people have a meltdown. 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.280 That's what's wrong with you. You know, it's through you, 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:45.160 it's it's mind boggling because we have videos now that 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.960 aren't always showcased on television. They go to YouTube or 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:51.040 Twitter right away. I've got people on the streets new 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:55.320 biling up, you know, shooting heroin, black Tar, heroin, whatever 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:59.840 it may be, and officers can't do anything about it. 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.280 You know. I gotta tell you something that being the 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.080 overnight guy and getting off work and driving home and 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:09.560 I feel like I see a different place than a 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:11.440 lot of the other people. What I mean by that 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:15.240 is number one, like there's a lot of stuff all 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:18.600 you're sleeping at least where I where I work, where 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:21.800 we work in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood there in the 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:24.440 San Fernando Valley in l A. And then getting from 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:26.160 my I have a very short trip to get on 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.360 the freeway. That's only a couple of blocks to get 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.520 on a freeway. And the stuff you see overnight, you're 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:34.880 you're allowed to sleep on the streets. So it sucks 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.520 when you're homeless. And I'm not, but literally the homeless. 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:41.080 I'm just telling you that it's out of control. What's 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:44.080 going on with people just you know, laying and shifting 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.760 on the streets, and it's wild it's like and then 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:48.480 you got to be off the street by was it 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:50.400 six in the morning or something like that when people 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:53.200 start waking up. But I'm not, you know, I'm leaving 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.320 and I'm seeing all this and like, whoa, this is crazy, 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.400 And this is like a rich neighborhood. There's a lot 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:00.880 of money there. There's a lot of rich Hollywood types 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:03.160 of live in the hills above where we do the 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.480 show from and they come down to shop in the 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:08.280 morning at the that the whole foods market right near 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.720 where we work, and they don't I don't think they 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:12.680 see any of that because these people are gone. I 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:14.480 don't know where they go during the day, but they 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:17.680 go somewhere and they're not there. I had to give 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:19.920 these security guards that heads up in the building that 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.120 we work at because the main streets that we have 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:25.920 that are intersected here, there's like a little bit of 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:29.400 brush and ivy that's covered around the building. And one 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:31.400 day in the middle of the day, I was recording 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.800 some stuff here in the studio and I looked outside 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:36.720 just to look at the streets or whatever, and ben 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:39.720 as I look down where the brushes at there's this 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:43.480 open patch of like dead plants, and all I saw 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:47.400 were syringes and vials. That's all I saw. I kid 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.200 you not. And there is obviously a band to for 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:53.080 people that wanted to shoot up. So at the crap 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:57.360 that I saw, or like you'd see on in the Wire, 0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.800 the show on HBO. I know you don't watch that show, 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:03.080 but the stuff that they depicted obviously there in Baltimore, 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:06.840 the streets because the drug wars and whatnot. It is there. 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:09.520 It is here, it's in San Francisco. I know, it's 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:12.040 in San Diego. I remember, like a year or two ago, 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:15.520 we have the hepatatis hepatitis outbreak down there that came 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.600 up to Los Angeles. And yeah, so the fifth largest 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:22.600 economy in the world has attacks us more because they 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.720 can't get their ship. No pun intended in order whatever, 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.800 It's gotta be a way, Like I know, most politicians 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.400 are dumb because if you're you're wise, you go into 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:33.600 private business because you can make more. Although if you're 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:35.480 a sleazy politician, you can make a lot of money. 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.240 But there's gotta be a way to get it under control. 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:40.879 What they're doing is not working. But this is not 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:42.679 a political show. Guest, gun I know you want to 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:44.800 make this a political show. This is not This is 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:47.960 not politics. This is just you and I. It doesn't 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.760 matter if you're a Republican, independent or a Democrat like 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:52.840 you don't want to see that ship in your streets. 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:55.119 You don't want to think I always think so, but 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:57.320 apparently some people are just like I don't care. Man. 0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:00.320 Let you know, let's uh love piece ship in this reads. 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:02.959 It's all good. You confined to me because you you 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:04.960 mentioned your voting. How long did it take you to 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:09.320 actually vote? Why I was? I I cheated. I used 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:13.840 to cheat code. Well, I have a mail in ballot, 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:16.480 but I didn't actually mail I did go to the 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:18.680 voting place and turned it in at the voting place 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:20.520 so I could vote. I didn't have to wait in 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:22.800 line or anything like that. But I, uh so I 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:24.920 did do that. It took me. It took me thirty 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:28.760 seven minutes to vote. So when you had your ballot 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:30.280 here in California, I don't know if all the other 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:32.480 states are the same, but in California, when you have 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:35.920 your voting ballot, they have a barcode on it. And 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:40.200 the Russian hackers. Yeah, so the iPads that were used 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.439 by the clerks to to validate your ballot, to verify 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:46.920 you and whatnot. They scan the bar codes, the bar 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:50.520 codes for people that were walking in before me wouldn't work. 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:53.840 It frees up all the iPads. Same thing happened to me. 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.520 You would freeze up the iPads. So it wait. We 0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:58.879 had to wait anywhere from fifteen and twenty minutes just 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:01.959 to vote. And then on top of that, the information 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:05.639 that showed up on the ballot on their computer system 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.560 wasn't even accurate for me. And when I told him 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:10.800 my name and my address, they didn't even ask for 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:14.520 an I D. I could have told the knowledge you well, 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:16.439 even like me, like with a mail in ballot, you 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:21.119 could conceivably do the mail in ballot and then you know, 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:23.679 get another ballot. It says not that it's voter fraud 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:25.480 or whatever, but you know, every time I see that, 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:29.520 I think of Chicago and dead people voting, And so 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:33.639 where's the anxiety. Be sure to catch live editions of 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:36.679 The Ben Miller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:40.240 pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:42.679 Radio app. Yeah, so the voter anxiety. So this is 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:45.359 not about the actual election. This is about the John R. 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:49.919 Wooden Award, the most hollowed award in all of sport. 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:53.600 Forget the Heisman, forget these dopey n v P awards. 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:57.600 That John R. Wooden Award is the most important award 0:19:57.640 --> 0:20:00.800 out there. So I have been a voder for many years. 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:02.680 And first, I don't brag about it, gascount. I don't 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:04.920 do a segment every year about me being a John R. 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:07.720 Wooden Award voter, because that would be wrong, That would 0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:10.520 be wrong to do unless I absolutely do that. I 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:13.879 absolutely do that every year. And it's coming up now. 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:17.679 We're getting into March madness, and it is the time 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:21.720 of the year where we we start getting excited about 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:26.040 college basketball. The college basketball season last one month one month. 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:29.919 So but Eddie brought something up randomly a couple of 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:33.720 weeks ago. He said, Hey, are you still a John A. 0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:39.399 Wooden voter? And I thought I had an epiphany, and 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:43.080 I was like, holy fuck, I haven't gotten any email 0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:45.520 from the Wooden people. They usually send me updates on 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:47.720 you know, the voting and the finalists for the Wooden 0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:50.840 Award and all that stuff, and I hadn't gotten any 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:53.719 in a while. And then I was like, wait a minute. 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:58.320 I changed my email address a couple of months ago, 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:01.760 the one that the Wooden people had, so I have 0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:04.840 a new email address, and so when Eddie asked me 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:08.160 about it on the air, I then had a come 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:11.440 to Jesus moment. I had the Aha moment and I said, 0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:15.919 holy fun. So then that started a two week sojourn 0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:21.280 of email and phone calls because my email that Wooden 0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:24.560 had was no longer valid. So I started freaking out, 0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:26.919 and for several days I tried to reach out to 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:30.280 the people that I had dealt with at the Wooden 0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:34.120 Award panel and to get my status updated as a voter, 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:37.440 and I got nothing. They didn't right back. I'm having anxiety. 0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:39.320 I'm freaking out. I'm like, holy funk, this is the 0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:41.240 one thing I get to vote for, and now I've 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:45.080 lost the the vote because I have my email changing. 0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:49.919 And then finally, after just harassing the people at Wooden, 0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:52.880 they got back to me and said, we're got We're 0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:55.760 all good. Don't worry, We've updated our records. You're gonna 0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:58.480 be fine. So but for a couple of days there, 0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:01.480 I was like, oh crap. I mean, I'll never vote 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:03.800 for the Heisman and these other stupid things. This is 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:07.840 my this is my award to vote for. You would 0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:11.639 never vote for the Heisman. Well, the Heisman is a 0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:14.719 very elitist thing, and you got to know people and 0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:17.240 all that stuff. You gotta have somebody that gives you 0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:18.800 the green light to vote on that. I don't know 0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:20.640 any put I do the Overnight show. I'm a man 0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:22.800 of the people. I'm not some daytime guy. You know, 0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:25.520 I know there's some afternoon guys that vote for the Heisman. 0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:27.000 Fac I know you're gonna bring up one. I know 0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:29.280 who you're gonna bring up. But he was like a 0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:33.119 morning drive, midday guy, and and so he's got a vote. 0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:35.800 But that's yeah, and they don't give it to the 0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:37.879 overnight people. Who do you think I was gonna bring up? 0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:39.639 And my god, I know exactly what you're gonna bring 0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:41.720 up because he also brags about the fact that he 0:22:41.760 --> 0:22:44.879 has a Heisman vote. Who cares the Wooden Awards bigger 0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:47.840 than the Heisman. Everyone knows that. Um, so you don't 0:22:47.880 --> 0:22:49.919 want to bring him up, then well you can if 0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:52.600 you want to talk about Steve Hartman, go ahead, bring 0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:54.960 up Steve Hartman. Now he's got nicer hair than you, 0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:56.879 and he's like twice your age, but he does. I 0:22:56.920 --> 0:23:00.320 think he's had some work done though, really I'm think 0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:03.480 so things and I don't think that's natural hair club 0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:05.720 for men. You know, well whatever it all works were 0:23:05.720 --> 0:23:08.920 in Los Angeles, right or you know, back in the 0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:10.840 day then when I when I first got into radio, 0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:14.480 it was it was Boner pills and there were companies 0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:18.959 advertising to have your hair replaced. You know, yeh, come 0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:21.400 I should. I'm a perfect candidate for that. Why don't 0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:23.000 I get hired to do that? Some of that ship? 0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:26.000 Speaking of which, on presentation a load, I did notice 0:23:26.040 --> 0:23:28.600 now that your pictures you've done a good job. As 0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:32.280 opposed to taking selfies from a distance, you're now taking 0:23:32.359 --> 0:23:35.480 up close selfies. And that's I got to give you 0:23:35.480 --> 0:23:38.520 a round of applause. Man, I normally don't. I don't 0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:43.040 really like complimenting you, but you've done a tremendous job 0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:46.840 at losing weight. Thank you. It's called not eating, it's 0:23:46.880 --> 0:23:49.840 called just not eating at all, and then you lose weight. 0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:52.840 But I do feel more. I'm not as self conscious 0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:55.840 now when my photo gets put up other than my hair, 0:23:56.200 --> 0:23:58.600 because we all, you know, vanity is part of human nature, 0:23:58.640 --> 0:24:00.720 so we all have to we're all vain. So other 0:24:00.760 --> 0:24:03.800 than that, I'm not as like you know, I'm a 0:24:03.800 --> 0:24:06.840 big fat tub of goo. I'm not one of one 0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:10.320 of our addendum to the Wooden Award thing. I would 0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:12.359 like to have a write in vote. Who says no, 0:24:12.640 --> 0:24:17.679 if I put Thomas snacks Lee as the tenth person 0:24:17.800 --> 0:24:20.600 on my ballot, He's not gonna win the Wooden Award, 0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:22.560 But wouldn't it be great for him to get a 0:24:22.680 --> 0:24:25.240 vote for the John R. Wooden Ward. I'm not supposed 0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:26.960 to talk about this because it's you know, you're not 0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:29.200 supposed to talk about your vote, but I am considering. 0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:32.360 I love this Thomas snacks Lee, this big tub of goo. 0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:34.880 I love this guy so much. I'm thinking about giving 0:24:34.960 --> 0:24:37.919 him an honorary vote for the Wooden Award. And I'm 0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:39.639 not kidding, by the way, I'm not. I think it 0:24:39.680 --> 0:24:42.359 would be awesome. Speaking of voting, I'm a little I 0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:44.199 am a little thrown off by the fact that I 0:24:44.240 --> 0:24:48.440 did not receive a Benny for for my efforts um 0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:52.159 with you in your show in twenty nineteen, so you 0:24:52.720 --> 0:24:55.560 actually I was. I was told by Robbie the Mariner 0:24:55.640 --> 0:24:58.960 Fan have a panel. I Robbie the Mariner fan transgender Dave. 0:24:59.560 --> 0:25:02.960 And we also have our friend Felexus in Buffalo that 0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:08.440 you are a nominee in twenty one Bennies for non 0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:11.480 binary personality at Fox Sports Radio. So you are in 0:25:11.520 --> 0:25:13.480 the running for that. It's so far you're the only 0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:16.600 person in the category. There's a ton of non binary 0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:18.880 personalities here at Fox Sports Radio. I don't know. Would 0:25:18.880 --> 0:25:21.119 you like to name them alphabetically? Go ahead, No, I 0:25:21.160 --> 0:25:22.840 would take me too long. And we got a long 0:25:22.920 --> 0:25:25.840 roster here at Fox Sports Radio of non binary or 0:25:25.920 --> 0:25:29.840 no personality talent. Really, yeah, don't you think I don't 0:25:29.840 --> 0:25:31.679 know what you're talking about. I love my colleagues, I 0:25:31.720 --> 0:25:34.040 love my co workers. I would never trash them like 0:25:34.160 --> 0:25:35.960 you don't even have bad team. You don't even hang 0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:37.760 out with any of them. I don't like them in 0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:41.880 that light, but I respect them as broadcast over under 0:25:41.920 --> 0:25:44.120 I think would be under. You probably have no less 0:25:44.119 --> 0:25:46.400 than fifty percent of the people at work here by name, 0:25:48.040 --> 0:25:52.480 uh like behind the scenes people, all of them? No, No, 0:25:52.560 --> 0:25:56.720 I know more than fifty. You know, speak absolutely a 0:25:56.800 --> 0:25:59.160 lot of the daytime people. I used to work the daytime, 0:25:59.160 --> 0:26:01.000 and there's the same pe bol behind the scenes. The 0:26:01.000 --> 0:26:04.720 great John Ramos, l a radio late John Ramos, Big Mike. 0:26:04.800 --> 0:26:06.800 I've known him Big Mike since he was nothing. Now 0:26:06.840 --> 0:26:09.919 he's a big management guy, Dan Buyer or sports director. 0:26:09.960 --> 0:26:12.360 I knew Dan when he was doing the overnights with me, 0:26:12.400 --> 0:26:13.879 and I try to set him up with women and 0:26:13.920 --> 0:26:19.359 he would freak out the whole thing. Speaking of which, 0:26:19.400 --> 0:26:21.480 I know the employees here. You don't know a lot 0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:24.560 of them, but your listeners and your followers, I know 0:26:24.640 --> 0:26:27.040 a few of them. I think one of my favorites 0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:29.960 now besaids I'm a pilot, and Terry and of course 0:26:30.000 --> 0:26:34.000 Tammy is is fun House because he showed some light 0:26:34.040 --> 0:26:37.200 and I watched this awesome video last night on calling Coward, 0:26:37.800 --> 0:26:41.080 and I wish you could be more like him, like 0:26:41.119 --> 0:26:47.000 the work ethic, the preparation, like I wish you had 0:26:47.200 --> 0:26:49.399 that kind of where of thought. Like he's bounced around 0:26:49.440 --> 0:26:55.560 different states, different platforms, and I'm I'm really I gotta 0:26:55.600 --> 0:26:58.920 say thank you to fun House because that material is well. 0:26:58.920 --> 0:27:01.520 I know you love Cower and he's very popular. A 0:27:01.520 --> 0:27:04.880 lot of the guys in the business copy Cowherd's acts. Good, 0:27:05.560 --> 0:27:08.160 no one's copying my act, but you have fun House 0:27:08.240 --> 0:27:10.119 is wonderful. I did get a kick out of that. 0:27:10.200 --> 0:27:12.320 I think we everyone that does a sports radio show 0:27:12.600 --> 0:27:15.720 really feels the pain of Colin because in that you're 0:27:15.720 --> 0:27:17.480 talking about a video that was on the Athletic that 0:27:17.600 --> 0:27:20.960 Funhouse shared, Yes, and he and you know, Colin was 0:27:20.960 --> 0:27:23.439 a documentary was well done. Who was the guy that 0:27:23.520 --> 0:27:26.880 was behind that was arm and contain? Yeah, yeah, he's 0:27:26.960 --> 0:27:28.960 very good. It was very well That was like a 0:27:29.000 --> 0:27:32.439 sixty minutes style docu piece on Colin Cowherd. It was 0:27:32.640 --> 0:27:35.400 last year and I didn't see it, but us fun 0:27:35.480 --> 0:27:38.280 House posted something. I watched it, and I watched I 0:27:38.280 --> 0:27:40.240 guess I was able to get the full clip and 0:27:40.400 --> 0:27:42.040 uh yeah, it was great. You know, it's we have 0:27:42.080 --> 0:27:44.679 a similar life. Me and Colin Cowardy talked about how 0:27:44.680 --> 0:27:47.679 there's no easy days in sports radio. I agree on that. Uh. 0:27:47.800 --> 0:27:50.320 Then he talked about how tough it is to figure 0:27:50.320 --> 0:27:52.640 out what to talk about, and he has a team 0:27:52.680 --> 0:27:55.400 of ten producers that sit around and they write out 0:27:55.400 --> 0:27:57.920 topic ideas. And I have the same thing. I lived 0:27:57.960 --> 0:28:00.240 the same life. I lived the same life, have a 0:28:00.240 --> 0:28:02.960 team of ten producers. They show up early. They don't 0:28:03.000 --> 0:28:04.800 show up at ten fifty nine, right before the show 0:28:04.840 --> 0:28:08.359 goes on there. They are there, early prepared. They're peppering 0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:10.359 me with, hey, maybe we could talk about this tonight. 0:28:10.600 --> 0:28:16.080 It's a NonStop is a collaborative effort, much like Colin Coward. 0:28:16.160 --> 0:28:19.080 We'll see. Since you're heavy with sarcasm right now on this, 0:28:19.400 --> 0:28:22.040 On this, I don't know what you're talking about. I 0:28:22.080 --> 0:28:24.280 don't know what you're talking about. This answers the question 0:28:24.400 --> 0:28:28.399 that people were asking earlier, like why does David and 0:28:28.400 --> 0:28:31.560 and your wife have have so much in common? It's 0:28:31.600 --> 0:28:34.400 because we are here to support you so well. Again 0:28:34.440 --> 0:28:38.479 you're talking about, well this is why Chris and Houston 0:28:38.560 --> 0:28:41.040 and others have questions. Well, this is why, and I'm 0:28:41.080 --> 0:28:44.280 giving them the answers. Because you don't have ten producers 0:28:44.280 --> 0:28:47.719 that are helping you. You have you have me, and 0:28:47.760 --> 0:28:51.200 then you you have some like keep trying. Ryan is 0:28:51.200 --> 0:28:58.120 always there trying, Ryan Burshea, Gavin Gavin at times sometimes Mary, 0:28:58.200 --> 0:29:00.520 I haven't had Gavin as a producer. I don't think 0:29:00.520 --> 0:29:02.200 he's allowed to do the overnights. I think it's he's 0:29:02.400 --> 0:29:04.040 he said he did not want to do the overnight. 0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:06.280 I don't I don't blame him, but he's not He's 0:29:06.400 --> 0:29:10.000 much like you. He's not adaptable. He can't change. I 0:29:10.360 --> 0:29:12.760 am adaptable, I just not really. You're you're a bit 0:29:12.760 --> 0:29:16.000 of a wiss. I prefer the daytime elements. You know, 0:29:16.760 --> 0:29:21.960 you like the corporate bs, you like all that. You 0:29:21.960 --> 0:29:24.920 don't want to you can't handle the big leagues, overnights, 0:29:24.920 --> 0:29:27.440 the big leagues and syndicated radio guests. I'm on more 0:29:27.480 --> 0:29:30.320 affiliates than Colin Coward. How about that. I do know that. 0:29:30.720 --> 0:29:33.440 I don't know if the ratings are as powerful, but 0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:37.720 again it's possibility. If there's people can't sleep, you'd be shocked. 0:29:37.840 --> 0:29:39.880 And I've learned this from doing the years of overnight. 0:29:40.400 --> 0:29:44.080 How many people have insomnia And it's like a headen 0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:47.920 drug that people can't they got they seem to all 0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:49.880 have at some point one one point or another. You 0:29:49.920 --> 0:29:51.680 had a bad day at work, whatever, you had a 0:29:51.720 --> 0:29:55.000 bad meal, you're up late, you're by yourself and your 0:29:55.080 --> 0:29:58.160 your partners asleep. If you're married and you're like, I'm lonely, 0:29:58.200 --> 0:30:00.800 I'll turn on the radio. Yeah, but I don't know 0:30:00.800 --> 0:30:02.800 if they want to listen to too much of your listeners, 0:30:02.800 --> 0:30:04.800 that's the only problem. Like you, you go through these 0:30:04.960 --> 0:30:06.960 these rants and raves about whatever, and then you go 0:30:07.040 --> 0:30:10.440 through story time about a listener that's traveling across the 0:30:10.480 --> 0:30:14.760 country or man Man, that's a great referring the movie 0:30:14.800 --> 0:30:16.640 Man Matt, that's a great guy. That's a you know that, 0:30:17.280 --> 0:30:19.040 I'll teach you about life. Gist, Gun, you have to 0:30:19.040 --> 0:30:21.200 be relatable, so you don't care about the common man. 0:30:21.200 --> 0:30:23.240 You're an elitist. You're west of the four oh five 0:30:23.240 --> 0:30:26.040 guy in l A. This is why people hate you. Okay, 0:30:26.400 --> 0:30:29.440 I live east of the four oh five, and so 0:30:29.480 --> 0:30:33.040 it's a whole different experience. Like I'm interested. I am 0:30:33.080 --> 0:30:35.840 more interested in John the security guard what he had 0:30:35.920 --> 0:30:39.280 on his break, or moving man Matt as he travels 0:30:39.320 --> 0:30:42.280 his Sodier and across North America, Like, I'm more interested 0:30:42.280 --> 0:30:45.600 in that than I am in the one percenters, which 0:30:45.640 --> 0:30:47.640 is what you care about. You know what's western, you 0:30:47.680 --> 0:30:52.680 know what's east of the four h five Freeway, Beverly, Beverly, 0:30:53.040 --> 0:30:56.280 Beverly Hills. You don't live in passage west of the four. 0:30:56.680 --> 0:30:58.440 I'm talking about east, and you are east of the 0:30:58.480 --> 0:31:03.200 four five Beverly Hills. Dummy, Alright, there's only one of 0:31:03.280 --> 0:31:06.640 us that's been camped a first class flight to somewhere 0:31:06.640 --> 0:31:10.080 out of California, and that is Ben Maller, the the 0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:14.400 white collar of Fox Sports Radio. You are. Everyone knows 0:31:14.480 --> 0:31:16.320 the truth here. I'm a man of the people, by 0:31:16.360 --> 0:31:18.160 the people, for the people. I am a fan of 0:31:18.200 --> 0:31:21.520 the people's team, the Clippers, the working class, the blue 0:31:21.560 --> 0:31:25.320 collar team. That's what I'm of course. And the last 0:31:25.400 --> 0:31:28.080 time you saw Colin Cowherd was one was that when 0:31:28.120 --> 0:31:32.840 a certain corporate event in a rich, upper class area 0:31:32.840 --> 0:31:35.880 of California decided to invite you out for for a 0:31:35.960 --> 0:31:40.040 round of golf and dinner and rose pedals and and 0:31:40.120 --> 0:31:41.920 all that stuff. Yes, I was at I was at 0:31:41.960 --> 0:31:44.800 a golf tournament for Fox Sports Radio. I was asked 0:31:44.840 --> 0:31:48.720 by my boss, Scott Shapiro to attend. I was in 0:31:48.760 --> 0:31:52.520 the past, I've always been shunned at these things, and they, 0:31:52.640 --> 0:31:55.600 you know, tossed me a bone. Normally, I'm overlooked and 0:31:55.640 --> 0:31:57.280 ignored when it comes to that kind of stuff. I 0:31:57.280 --> 0:32:00.480 am unwanted at those type of events. But thought, he 0:32:00.800 --> 0:32:03.480 that's for one time. Let's do a solid de Mallard 0:32:03.960 --> 0:32:06.680 and Mike Harmon, by the way, who's also ostracized, and 0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:08.840 we'll throw these guys a solid We'll let them come 0:32:08.840 --> 0:32:12.120 out hang out rub shoulders with the elite, and uh yeah, 0:32:12.520 --> 0:32:16.160 I did do that for one day, for about I 0:32:16.160 --> 0:32:18.440 don't know, seven hours or whatever. It was the full, 0:32:18.560 --> 0:32:20.520 full day of events that we had that day. It 0:32:20.640 --> 0:32:23.200 was fun Newport Beach. Yeah, it's really relatable to the 0:32:23.240 --> 0:32:26.680 common man. Ben, I'm happy you said that. Yes again, 0:32:26.720 --> 0:32:29.680 but that was you know, west of the four oh five. 0:32:29.840 --> 0:32:32.520 I don't live there though. I live in a working 0:32:32.600 --> 0:32:36.120 class town where I live. And uh, but yeah, I 0:32:36.160 --> 0:32:39.520 know you were talking about my my show preparation, my 0:32:39.520 --> 0:32:42.880 my versatility as as a host overnight, and it really is, 0:32:42.920 --> 0:32:46.800 again a collaborative effort. Um. It is a chorus. It 0:32:46.960 --> 0:32:49.760 is not a solo performance. It's not a one man band. 0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:51.520 It takes a lot of work to come up with 0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:54.880 all those monologues that take hours and hours to put together. 0:32:54.920 --> 0:32:59.040 You don't like the several people group. It's the group dynamic. 0:32:59.080 --> 0:33:01.160 What's that? It is a group dynamic. But you don't 0:33:01.160 --> 0:33:03.280 like listen to people when it comes to that stuff. Oh, 0:33:03.320 --> 0:33:05.000 that's not true at all. That's not true at all. 0:33:05.040 --> 0:33:07.360 People have good ideas, I listen, they have bad ideas. 0:33:07.360 --> 0:33:09.880 I don't listen. The only time I've ever observed you 0:33:10.000 --> 0:33:12.840 listen to people's like when you open up your monologues, 0:33:12.960 --> 0:33:15.920 and there's certain language in my text messages that you 0:33:16.040 --> 0:33:21.200 extract and then you put and then it's like, oh, 0:33:21.240 --> 0:33:23.520 wait a minute, this is a liar. Liar pants on. 0:33:24.200 --> 0:33:28.480 David Gascon is a fucking snake and a liar I've done. 0:33:29.440 --> 0:33:31.440 I only lie about being a snake. That's about it. 0:33:31.520 --> 0:33:34.320 Ben Maller. Yeah, you're your nickname. And I don't know 0:33:34.320 --> 0:33:35.560 if I should say this in the air, but your 0:33:35.640 --> 0:33:38.280 nickname at Fox Sports is old News gas Gon. A 0:33:38.600 --> 0:33:41.920 old news Gaston is your nickname because you're like stuck 0:33:41.920 --> 0:33:44.960 in a different dimension, your couple of hours or a 0:33:44.960 --> 0:33:48.600 couple of days behind the rest of us. It's fascinating. Wow, 0:33:49.040 --> 0:33:51.640 I will. It's better than being fake news, Ben Maller. 0:33:51.880 --> 0:33:54.200 Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller 0:33:54.240 --> 0:33:57.640 Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. So 0:33:57.760 --> 0:34:01.920 moving on, you forgot something, you forgot something. And so 0:34:02.040 --> 0:34:03.840 this is a personal story I did not tell in 0:34:03.920 --> 0:34:06.120 the radio. I've saved it for the fifth hour. So 0:34:06.280 --> 0:34:09.120 last weekend I went to see a hockey game. I 0:34:09.160 --> 0:34:10.759 don't get out as much as I used to. I 0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:12.680 used to live at these events. But then I got 0:34:12.680 --> 0:34:14.920 married and now I'm not allowed to go anywhere. But 0:34:15.160 --> 0:34:17.720 I went to see the King's play The New Jersey 0:34:17.760 --> 0:34:19.920 Devils and catch up with my friends that are on 0:34:19.960 --> 0:34:22.319 the beat. And I have friends that cover hockey whatever, 0:34:22.760 --> 0:34:25.160 so I chance to get out pressed the flesh, get 0:34:25.200 --> 0:34:29.080 a little time in the arena. I love the coldness. 0:34:29.200 --> 0:34:31.360 And you walk into an NHL arena and there is this. 0:34:31.800 --> 0:34:36.080 I love it. It's cool anyway, So being the nocturnal colonel. 0:34:36.080 --> 0:34:39.840 The one problem this was a mattenee. It was a 0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:44.319 Saturday afternoon start dropped the puck, I believe at twelve thirty. 0:34:44.480 --> 0:34:47.120 They dropped the truck that the park, which is normally 0:34:47.400 --> 0:34:50.200 my overnight. I'm a vampire. I don't like to come 0:34:50.200 --> 0:34:53.120 out during the daylight. So I'm half asleep, but I'm like, 0:34:53.239 --> 0:34:55.319 I gotta go to this this game. I gotta go. 0:34:55.920 --> 0:34:57.600 Now I have a chance to get out. The wife 0:34:57.640 --> 0:34:59.960 was busy. Whatever, I'll go on, so I'm half asleep. 0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:03.880 I drove all the way from the Mallard mansion in 0:35:04.239 --> 0:35:08.759 Nevada essentially, and uh. I drove to the downtown l A, 0:35:08.920 --> 0:35:11.160 the corridor there around Staples Center and I have a 0:35:11.160 --> 0:35:14.239 parking lot which is about a mile away from Staples Center. 0:35:14.280 --> 0:35:17.680 It's the cheapest parking lot in the downtown l A 0:35:17.680 --> 0:35:23.880 area for these type of events that it's on. Uh, 0:35:24.120 --> 0:35:26.279 you know, it's right near that target, you know, the 0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:29.640 targeting downtown. It's kind of north. Yeah. How much it 0:35:30.239 --> 0:35:32.040 what's that? How much do you pay for it? When 0:35:32.080 --> 0:35:34.200 I first started going, there was four dollars. That was 0:35:34.239 --> 0:35:37.440 twenty years ago. Now it is up to seven dollars. Okay, 0:35:37.560 --> 0:35:40.360 there's one two blocks north on Figure. Oh it's I 0:35:40.440 --> 0:35:43.440 think it's on Fig and ninth. I believe it is, 0:35:43.520 --> 0:35:46.480 but it's in a it's in between two high rises. 0:35:46.520 --> 0:35:48.960 And it's only seven dollars as well. Yeah, yeah, so 0:35:48.960 --> 0:35:50.640 it's seven. That's the cheapest you can get. Used to 0:35:50.640 --> 0:35:52.520 be four, not the went to five. I was upset 0:35:52.560 --> 0:35:54.560 by that six. I didn't like that. Now it's seven 0:35:55.120 --> 0:35:58.680 and uh, and they're tearing down more parking lots around there. 0:35:58.680 --> 0:36:00.600 So I'm worried. It's gonna tell my wife is so 0:36:00.680 --> 0:36:02.360 this thing is gonna be twenty bucks within like a 0:36:02.400 --> 0:36:04.840 couple of years. It's just gonna get it's gonna continue 0:36:04.880 --> 0:36:06.680 to be out of control and all the stuff. So 0:36:06.719 --> 0:36:08.520 but anyway, I go to the parking lot whatever, my 0:36:08.560 --> 0:36:10.720 normal thing. The gate comes up, I take the ticket. 0:36:11.120 --> 0:36:12.640 After the you know, the gate comes up there and 0:36:12.640 --> 0:36:15.359 I go in and I parked my car, and uh, 0:36:15.480 --> 0:36:17.640 you know again I'm a half asleep. Um, you know, 0:36:17.640 --> 0:36:19.560 you gotta pay. It's a pay lot. It's only seven bucks, 0:36:19.560 --> 0:36:21.360 big deal. But I parked the car. I go to 0:36:21.400 --> 0:36:24.920 the elevator and I realized I had forgotten something. And 0:36:25.000 --> 0:36:28.279 what do you think I forgot? Guess, guy, Uh, it's 0:36:28.280 --> 0:36:31.360 not your keys, I'd say, it's obviously it's not my keys. 0:36:31.520 --> 0:36:35.719 It's it's your wallet. Yes, yes, I then have anxiety. 0:36:36.440 --> 0:36:39.799 I do not have my wallet. I think, well, you know, 0:36:39.840 --> 0:36:41.520 maybe it fell out in the car. Maybe you know, 0:36:41.600 --> 0:36:44.000 I sat down and it just fell out in the Maltmobile. 0:36:44.239 --> 0:36:45.960 It's probably under the seat. So let me go back 0:36:46.000 --> 0:36:49.120 to my car and I'll pillage around underneath the seat 0:36:49.160 --> 0:36:51.680 to find the wallet, and then I'll be fine, no problem. 0:36:51.680 --> 0:36:54.279 I'm sure I have my wallet. So I go back 0:36:54.320 --> 0:36:57.200 to the car. Now I see these two, these two 0:36:57.320 --> 0:37:01.120 dudes who are smoking the Gondra in the in a car, 0:37:01.239 --> 0:37:02.920 right car. I didn't notice this when I first got 0:37:02.920 --> 0:37:05.400 out of the car. There's smoking the weed, the Mary 0:37:05.520 --> 0:37:08.920 Jane right across me, right, so whatever, So I they 0:37:09.000 --> 0:37:10.680 must think I'm nuts because I go back to my 0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:13.080 car after like five minutes, and I'm I'm just on 0:37:13.120 --> 0:37:18.240 my hands and knees trying to get my wall. Nothing right, nothing, 0:37:18.360 --> 0:37:22.319 can't find a damn wallet, something like crap. And now 0:37:22.400 --> 0:37:24.440 keep in mind, I don't have my driver's license, I 0:37:24.480 --> 0:37:28.040 don't have credit card. I have no way to pay 0:37:28.160 --> 0:37:31.440 for the parking, and so I'm like freaking out on what. 0:37:31.760 --> 0:37:33.800 You know, I don't have any way to get any money. 0:37:33.840 --> 0:37:35.400 I'll be I have to be like that bum in 0:37:35.400 --> 0:37:38.320 Miami and start begging for money. So how am I 0:37:38.320 --> 0:37:40.239 gonna leave the garage with no money? You know, I 0:37:40.280 --> 0:37:42.279 haven't even got on a game yet. I don't have 0:37:42.320 --> 0:37:45.600 access to money. And then I had one of those 0:37:46.080 --> 0:37:51.719 Eureka moments right where all of a sudden I realized 0:37:51.760 --> 0:37:55.399 that I had, As my mom taught me years ago, 0:37:55.520 --> 0:37:59.360 you have to have an emergency, a hidden fund somewhere. 0:38:00.200 --> 0:38:02.279 And in my I brought my my laptop with me 0:38:02.320 --> 0:38:06.080 and my computer bag. Years ago, I'd even forgotten about this. 0:38:06.200 --> 0:38:11.480 I had an emergency twenty dollar bill in my computer 0:38:11.600 --> 0:38:14.600 bag as insurance in case something like this ever happened. 0:38:14.640 --> 0:38:18.719 I never had to use it until this past weekend. 0:38:19.160 --> 0:38:23.839 So about that? What is okay? So two questions. One 0:38:23.920 --> 0:38:25.800 is where did you find did you find your wallet? 0:38:25.760 --> 0:38:27.839 And where did you find it? Out? I was at home. 0:38:27.880 --> 0:38:29.680 I left it. I was so tired when I left it, 0:38:29.840 --> 0:38:31.680 left it right near the I usually leave it right 0:38:31.680 --> 0:38:33.759 near the door, and I just left it. It was 0:38:33.800 --> 0:38:36.279 in such a daze when I was leaving, I was 0:38:36.320 --> 0:38:39.279 like half asleep. The other question is is what is 0:38:39.360 --> 0:38:41.399 up with you dropping ship all over the place now, 0:38:41.440 --> 0:38:45.120 your wallet, your phone at Costco. I didn't drop ship. 0:38:45.360 --> 0:38:48.160 I I left it because I was tired, all right. 0:38:48.160 --> 0:38:51.040 I don't don't make this something. It's not that it 0:38:51.200 --> 0:38:54.560 is now I would tell you, and this is trending. 0:38:54.920 --> 0:38:57.799 I had to go to see my dad after I know, 0:38:58.040 --> 0:39:00.359 hang out with my dad. After I the King game, 0:39:00.840 --> 0:39:05.440 I drove Newport Beach. I drove not a a mile 0:39:05.600 --> 0:39:07.960 over the speed limit because I didn't have my wallets. 0:39:08.040 --> 0:39:09.279 I was like, oh, if I get pulled over, this 0:39:09.320 --> 0:39:11.840 becomes a big problem. You know, well, I mean you 0:39:11.880 --> 0:39:14.960 still have your registration and insurance in the car, right, Yeah? Yeah, 0:39:14.960 --> 0:39:17.120 I had that, so it's only a fixed ticket. I 0:39:17.120 --> 0:39:19.399 think it's like thirty five bucks. Oh is that right? 0:39:19.520 --> 0:39:21.759 But then I I my wife said, and she works 0:39:21.760 --> 0:39:24.920 at the police station, that you can show a photo copy, 0:39:25.120 --> 0:39:26.680 like if you took I did take a photo of 0:39:26.680 --> 0:39:28.600 my driver's license, so I have that, so I could 0:39:28.640 --> 0:39:31.440 have conceivably shown that. Right, you can show that. I 0:39:31.480 --> 0:39:33.839 don't know, I haven't been pulled over in a long time. Well, 0:39:33.960 --> 0:39:37.840 you have special privileges, you know that have those special privileges. 0:39:38.400 --> 0:39:40.680 You know someone's gonna be on board. And someone was talking, 0:39:40.920 --> 0:39:43.320 I'm a man of the people. Yeah, well your wife's 0:39:43.440 --> 0:39:46.279 your wife's got the privilege to right or no, Oh, 0:39:46.360 --> 0:39:48.959 my wife's pretty yeah. I mean because she she knows 0:39:49.040 --> 0:39:51.279 the lingo how to get out of a ticket. She 0:39:51.400 --> 0:39:53.440 knows what to say and all that. And I'm like, 0:39:53.800 --> 0:39:56.160 I'm like, oh funk, I'm getting a ticket. But I'm 0:39:56.200 --> 0:39:58.520 with my wife. She'd be like, oh, yeah, she she knows, 0:39:58.520 --> 0:40:01.360 like there's certain things you can say. She'll like find 0:40:01.440 --> 0:40:03.320 she'll find a way. She's a master. She's like a 0:40:03.440 --> 0:40:07.680 ninja of working in the conversation. Oh, by the way, 0:40:07.719 --> 0:40:09.400 I'm you know, I work at the police, you know, 0:40:09.440 --> 0:40:11.600 and once you say that, it's you know, you're good. 0:40:11.800 --> 0:40:13.640 You don't have well, you don't have any stickers in 0:40:13.640 --> 0:40:15.840 your car, right, like for like an l A l 0:40:15.880 --> 0:40:20.000 A City Fire Department or I'd like to get one, 0:40:20.040 --> 0:40:23.520 can you can? You? Guy? Now you want something? Yeah, 0:40:24.560 --> 0:40:30.920 something that's like a get out of speeding ticket. That 0:40:31.120 --> 0:40:33.799 thing there. That's what the key for me is. I 0:40:33.840 --> 0:40:35.600 spent a lot of my time on the highway, so 0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:38.040 I need somebody. If there's a Mallard militia guy who's 0:40:38.040 --> 0:40:41.239 a highway patrol officer, that's what I would really need 0:40:41.360 --> 0:40:43.120 because I'm not really worried about the l A p 0:40:43.280 --> 0:40:45.040 D or anything like that. I'm worried about the highway 0:40:45.040 --> 0:40:47.360 patrol because those are the guys that go cherry tops 0:40:47.719 --> 0:40:50.000 and pull me over. Do we have any do we 0:40:50.080 --> 0:40:54.200 have any listening the dark cloud? What the hell is 0:40:54.239 --> 0:40:56.560 the dark cloud? Guest? What is this all about? The 0:40:56.640 --> 0:41:00.080 dark Cloud? I think started in two thousand nineteen with you, 0:41:00.280 --> 0:41:03.920 And it feels like to me that I think this 0:41:04.040 --> 0:41:07.840 goes back to you not even getting credentialed for RAMS 0:41:07.880 --> 0:41:11.319 game at home. I think it went Rams. Oh, that's right, 0:41:11.360 --> 0:41:15.760 the Rams and the Buccaneers. Yes, and the Rams wouldn't 0:41:15.760 --> 0:41:18.440 allow me and fund them. Yes. I think it's the Rams. 0:41:18.560 --> 0:41:21.160 The Seahawks game and they lost that Get you Up 0:41:21.160 --> 0:41:25.839 double Nichols did Jameis Winston that game. That's karma. That's karma, assholes. 0:41:25.880 --> 0:41:28.520 But this goes back to all that, like you've had 0:41:28.800 --> 0:41:32.840 this dark cloud of misfortune that's happened to you, and 0:41:32.880 --> 0:41:35.319 it carried over to me with my car and the 0:41:35.400 --> 0:41:39.000 window getting blown out. Been a couple of days ago. 0:41:39.640 --> 0:41:42.200 I was I was at the gym and I was 0:41:42.239 --> 0:41:45.879 working out, and I come home to find out the 0:41:45.880 --> 0:41:53.160 water heater blew out, so I had no access to 0:41:53.640 --> 0:41:56.440 hot water. In fact, I had no access to water period. 0:41:56.880 --> 0:42:00.440 And I had to work late in the afternoon and 0:42:00.719 --> 0:42:03.040 I had just finished the gym, so I was nearly 0:42:03.120 --> 0:42:05.120 soaking wet, and I had a minute. Did you do? 0:42:05.160 --> 0:42:07.400 What did you do? The horse bath is because I 0:42:07.520 --> 0:42:12.040 learned that's the term. I didn't have water, so I 0:42:12.080 --> 0:42:15.440 did the next best thing I can do. In the 0:42:15.480 --> 0:42:19.160 coronavirus outbreak realm that we live in, can you rub 0:42:19.239 --> 0:42:24.280 dirt all over yourself? No? I grab I grabbed wipes. 0:42:25.360 --> 0:42:30.520 I grabbed like the smell, the handheld wipes, the okay 0:42:30.840 --> 0:42:36.880 effective wipes. So I put disinfected on my arms, my hands, 0:42:37.080 --> 0:42:41.080 my feet, my legs, um and then I had to 0:42:41.120 --> 0:42:44.080 wear obviously jeans and it. Wore a long sleeve shirt 0:42:44.160 --> 0:42:47.880 and a sweater to work and then just drenched myself 0:42:47.920 --> 0:42:51.080 in deodorant. So I had to go. I went. I 0:42:51.120 --> 0:42:54.440 went close to forty hours without a shower. And this 0:42:54.520 --> 0:42:57.600 is after a couple of rounds of working out. You 0:42:57.640 --> 0:43:01.479 are so neurotic, waiting, neurot Like it just felt like ship. 0:43:01.640 --> 0:43:06.600 I was just dirty, couldn't shower. Are you like everyone 0:43:06.640 --> 0:43:09.359 else though, like with this coronavirus thing? Like, are you like? 0:43:09.760 --> 0:43:13.400 I feel like everyone is a heathen hypochondriac. You know, 0:43:13.480 --> 0:43:16.279 everyone thinks whatever is being talked about, they're going to get. 0:43:16.360 --> 0:43:20.640 And listen, some people obviously are going to get this coronavirus, 0:43:20.719 --> 0:43:22.719 But I'm not obsessed with it. Like I feel like 0:43:23.200 --> 0:43:26.320 everyone's obsessed with this, and I feel like they're preoccupied 0:43:26.400 --> 0:43:28.360 with all of it. I asked you this, I asked 0:43:28.360 --> 0:43:31.400 you a portion of this last week we're talking about mortality, 0:43:31.440 --> 0:43:33.160 and you kind of blew me off, like, hey, we're 0:43:33.200 --> 0:43:36.279 all gonna go one way or another. But think I 0:43:36.320 --> 0:43:39.200 believe that to be true. We we don't know what 0:43:39.400 --> 0:43:42.839 we don't know, of course, I think, so I think 0:43:42.840 --> 0:43:45.240 I might worry about it. No one, not a single 0:43:45.280 --> 0:43:47.480 person who's died has come back, so it must not 0:43:47.560 --> 0:43:51.200 be that bad. Well, listen, this all stems from from 0:43:51.239 --> 0:43:54.640 the I guess, the unbreakable to the breakable. When when 0:43:54.640 --> 0:43:57.480 I was like sixteen or seventeen, I had tore my 0:43:57.560 --> 0:44:00.279 road tittor cuff in a football game to me get 0:44:00.320 --> 0:44:04.920 my violin out, I'm telling you something, humble, brag, tougher 0:44:04.960 --> 0:44:09.000 than you. I broke my collar bone tour my road 0:44:09.000 --> 0:44:11.680 to the cuff listening to whatever. Anyway, So a couple 0:44:11.680 --> 0:44:13.239 of years later, when I was in college, I also 0:44:13.320 --> 0:44:15.600 broke it again in a scrimmage against U C. L A. 0:44:16.200 --> 0:44:19.399 But ever since then then I think about my mortality 0:44:19.480 --> 0:44:22.480 more than I ever did prior to that, because like, 0:44:22.520 --> 0:44:25.759 once you're cracked, then you're cracked, you know, and and 0:44:25.840 --> 0:44:29.600 so now I value I hate going to the hospital. 0:44:29.640 --> 0:44:32.080 I hate going to funerals. Who the funk likes going 0:44:32.120 --> 0:44:34.520 to the hospital. Who are the people's I mean, I'm 0:44:34.560 --> 0:44:36.640 sure there's some that just love being the patient, but 0:44:36.719 --> 0:44:39.680 most people would not when I was in the hospital 0:44:39.719 --> 0:44:45.040 for a week, you didn't come and visit me. Called, 0:44:45.880 --> 0:44:49.040 and that's where you're at. I asked, you're okay, but 0:44:49.600 --> 0:44:52.080 to your wife, I'm not gonna let you defame me, 0:44:52.160 --> 0:44:56.160 like to faming just I know you're sent. The way 0:44:56.200 --> 0:44:58.640 you reacted proves I am right. You were very defensive 0:44:58.680 --> 0:45:00.719 about this. You did not. I was five days I 0:45:00.719 --> 0:45:04.440 could have died. My eyes were turning yellow, I was jaundice. 0:45:04.719 --> 0:45:06.399 You didn't come and visit me in the hospital. When 0:45:06.400 --> 0:45:08.480 I was on my deathbed. You didn't come and see 0:45:08.520 --> 0:45:13.000 me there. Uh, and really nobody did, like you really noticed. 0:45:13.040 --> 0:45:15.239 Like when you're in the hospital, you're bored out of 0:45:15.239 --> 0:45:17.239 your mind. There's nothing to do. The only one that 0:45:17.360 --> 0:45:20.200 visited me was my mother in law. She came and 0:45:20.360 --> 0:45:22.080 hung up when she's a nurse, but she came and 0:45:22.480 --> 0:45:26.160 kept an eye on me. My own father would not 0:45:26.400 --> 0:45:29.040 visit me in the hospital because he told me I 0:45:29.080 --> 0:45:37.480 don't really like those those places. Thanks Dad. I appreciated 0:45:37.560 --> 0:45:41.360 Dad for the record. I was texting you the entire 0:45:41.440 --> 0:45:44.680 time and when I didn't get response, Okay, you didn't 0:45:45.640 --> 0:45:49.360 you when we go to the text messages, you loser. 0:45:49.840 --> 0:45:52.160 I was I was gonna say something really bad, but 0:45:52.560 --> 0:45:55.399 you are such a dingle berry. No, no, I didn't 0:45:55.440 --> 0:45:57.799 get a response, and so your wife texted me to 0:45:57.840 --> 0:45:59.600 say that you were in the hospital. And then when 0:45:59.640 --> 0:46:01.840 I where you were at, I didn't even get a 0:46:01.920 --> 0:46:04.760 fucking direct message about where you're at. You're just saying 0:46:05.000 --> 0:46:08.640 you was such a buffoon. He was such a washed 0:46:08.719 --> 0:46:11.640 up clown. You let me tell you what this hapless 0:46:11.640 --> 0:46:15.520 dope dat. Okay, so I'm in the hospital. I'm completely 0:46:15.640 --> 0:46:17.640 fucked up. I did at that time. I didn't really 0:46:17.719 --> 0:46:22.920 know what was going on, and this guy's harassing me verbally, 0:46:23.080 --> 0:46:28.000 this punk is harassing me with these angry text messages. 0:46:28.040 --> 0:46:31.799 You were You were just completely intolerable. You are a narcissist. 0:46:32.040 --> 0:46:38.759 You are unbearable. I wouldn't go that far. I would would. 0:46:38.960 --> 0:46:41.680 I would just remember I remember that reading those message. 0:46:41.680 --> 0:46:44.319 I just I was like, I told me, why does 0:46:44.360 --> 0:46:48.040 he realize I am in the in the emergency room here, 0:46:48.040 --> 0:46:50.319 and I'm like, not doing well? You know, I think 0:46:50.320 --> 0:46:52.080 it's all a state of mind. And I felt like 0:46:52.120 --> 0:46:54.799 if you were down and out, you wouldn't respond. But 0:46:54.880 --> 0:46:56.920 the fact that you did respond just tells me that 0:46:57.000 --> 0:47:01.080 you you had your cognitive of motor fi functions up 0:47:01.480 --> 0:47:05.640 the operations. So I thought you were okay. But first 0:47:05.640 --> 0:47:08.000 of all, I did ask your wife and you where 0:47:08.000 --> 0:47:10.160 you're at. I got no response in that. Then I 0:47:10.200 --> 0:47:13.280 asked where you're if you're okay. I got very little 0:47:13.320 --> 0:47:16.600 response on that, And so you know, it's like you 0:47:17.719 --> 0:47:19.960 gotta live with that. You know, I could die. You 0:47:19.960 --> 0:47:22.839 didn't come visit me in the hospital on you. If 0:47:22.840 --> 0:47:24.839 you were in the hospital, I'd come visit you. Back 0:47:24.840 --> 0:47:27.520 to the coronavirus, I'm a better person than you about that. No, 0:47:28.680 --> 0:47:30.719 it's too far for you. My mom taught me right. 0:47:30.800 --> 0:47:33.279 You'd ask for gas money probably, I'd go out there. 0:47:33.320 --> 0:47:35.360 I'd go to Tito's Tacos while you were in the hospital, 0:47:35.400 --> 0:47:39.040 neat some tacos. Are you worried about the coronavirus at all? 0:47:40.120 --> 0:47:43.680 I am not. I am not worried about this because 0:47:43.760 --> 0:47:46.480 I feel like every year there is something that pops up, 0:47:46.520 --> 0:47:52.000 whether it's the West Nile virus, the bird flu Bolo 0:47:52.160 --> 0:47:54.480 was a big one, the Zekea virus and was going 0:47:54.520 --> 0:47:57.400 to kill us all and all that stuff. You know, 0:47:57.440 --> 0:48:01.680 Now it's the coronavirus. I'm not. I'm not worried because 0:48:02.520 --> 0:48:04.640 by all accounts it's I look at it this way, 0:48:05.160 --> 0:48:07.360 like maybe I'll get it. I mean, if enough people 0:48:07.400 --> 0:48:09.520 get it, I'm sure my number will come up and 0:48:09.520 --> 0:48:12.279 I'll get it. But from everything I've read online, it's 0:48:12.360 --> 0:48:15.440 like a different strain of you know, get the cold 0:48:15.520 --> 0:48:19.480 or the flu. Like to me, for most people, it 0:48:19.640 --> 0:48:23.040 is in that classification. It's in that box where it's 0:48:23.080 --> 0:48:25.640 like a different strain of the flu or the cold. 0:48:26.360 --> 0:48:27.680 That's the way I'm looking at it. And I don't. 0:48:27.719 --> 0:48:30.799 I mean, I don't until somebody tells me this is 0:48:30.840 --> 0:48:34.319 the Black plague or something like that, and they can 0:48:34.400 --> 0:48:37.480 prove it with the facts. I mean, obviously people, certain 0:48:37.480 --> 0:48:39.239 percentage of people are dying. I think it's like the 0:48:39.280 --> 0:48:42.000 mortality rate is what three percent or something like that, 0:48:42.440 --> 0:48:44.120 but it's a lot. You're talking about old people, You're 0:48:44.160 --> 0:48:47.520 talking about people with immune system issues, and you know, 0:48:47.560 --> 0:48:49.879 if I was somebody like that, yeah, I wouldn't leave 0:48:49.920 --> 0:48:52.680 my house. I would self quarantine if I had that 0:48:52.800 --> 0:48:54.920 those kind of issues of us fighting an illness. I mean, 0:48:54.960 --> 0:48:57.040 I feel bad for those people, but for a don't 0:48:57.160 --> 0:48:59.719 like me at this point in my life. You know, 0:49:00.600 --> 0:49:03.000 I'm not gonna worry about it. What about you? Are 0:49:03.000 --> 0:49:06.000 you a glass case of emotion? No, I'm not, but 0:49:06.200 --> 0:49:08.480 I do. I do take it seriously. I mean it's 0:49:08.480 --> 0:49:12.200 a biological weapon. I take it like that. I mean 0:49:12.239 --> 0:49:14.959 you think the flu is a biological weapon? No, I don't. 0:49:15.000 --> 0:49:17.280 But this is manufactured in China, and you're not getting 0:49:17.400 --> 0:49:21.160 accurate numbers from China or Iran, so that that those 0:49:21.239 --> 0:49:25.280 numbers are obviously spreading across the United States, in Canada, 0:49:25.400 --> 0:49:29.080 in the UK, uh in France. How savage is it 0:49:29.120 --> 0:49:31.680 that this came from eating a bat? Right, that this 0:49:32.160 --> 0:49:36.080 this is a disease from bats, that it jumps species? 0:49:36.920 --> 0:49:39.239 First of all, who the funk is eating bats? That's 0:49:39.320 --> 0:49:46.480 number one? Chinese apparently domins cats. It's crazy, man, It's unbelievable, 0:49:47.160 --> 0:49:51.560 just ruthless, sys like a nice meal, Let me grab 0:49:51.600 --> 0:49:53.839 a bat. Of course, I think it's gad zooks. What 0:49:53.920 --> 0:49:55.520 we eat, what we don't eat, you know, like why 0:49:55.560 --> 0:49:59.120 we chose the cow, not the horrors. But I remember 0:49:59.160 --> 0:50:00.960 that I learned that you're ago because the horse was 0:50:01.040 --> 0:50:03.759 valuable and could be the worker, so they couldn't eat 0:50:03.800 --> 0:50:05.759 the horse. But other people eat the horse. You know, 0:50:05.760 --> 0:50:08.280 it's what you choose to eat what you don't choose. 0:50:08.440 --> 0:50:11.360 I do love that our buildings now have signs posted 0:50:11.400 --> 0:50:14.960 in the restrooms about washing our hands. It's like, what 0:50:15.080 --> 0:50:17.799 the funk of course wash your hands. I see so 0:50:17.840 --> 0:50:23.440 many assholes leaving a restaurant restroom, or a a bar restroom, 0:50:23.560 --> 0:50:27.560 or even a gym restroom without washing their hands, and 0:50:27.600 --> 0:50:29.239 I just want to kick him in the knees, Like, 0:50:29.600 --> 0:50:31.759 what kind of asshole do you gotta be to not 0:50:31.920 --> 0:50:35.400 wash your hands after you go take a piss or 0:50:35.440 --> 0:50:39.520 a deuce? Yeah, well listen, if you don't, there are 0:50:39.600 --> 0:50:41.960 ways you can do it without touching you junk. So 0:50:42.000 --> 0:50:44.919 if you don't do that, it doesn't matter. It does matter, 0:50:45.080 --> 0:50:48.560 it doesn't it. Do pray and pray you're still getting 0:50:48.600 --> 0:50:51.640 that ship on your hands, on your wrists, on your 0:50:53.880 --> 0:50:56.239 totally no, no no, no. Have you ever looked at a 0:50:56.320 --> 0:50:59.960 toilet bowl or like a you're install like you don't 0:51:00.080 --> 0:51:02.600 go in there and it's just pristine. Motherfucker's don't know 0:51:02.600 --> 0:51:05.880 how to fire and even when they do. That is true, 0:51:06.040 --> 0:51:10.000 But I'm talking about from the logistical standpoint of how 0:51:10.080 --> 0:51:12.920 you would handle h if you are able to, If 0:51:12.960 --> 0:51:16.240 you were like gym shorts and you pull them down, 0:51:16.360 --> 0:51:20.400 and there's no contact with your manhood and your hands, 0:51:20.920 --> 0:51:24.040 and you don't you use your foot, your shoe flush 0:51:24.120 --> 0:51:26.640 the toilet. You haven't made any contact. Now, you could 0:51:26.719 --> 0:51:29.920 argue getting into the stall would be a problem that 0:51:30.000 --> 0:51:33.680 you have to touch the handle to get in, but 0:51:33.880 --> 0:51:35.839 maybe you don't. Maybe you bump your elbow to get 0:51:35.880 --> 0:51:38.040 in the stall, and so you've made no contact with 0:51:38.080 --> 0:51:40.160 your drunk. You've made no contact with any part of 0:51:40.160 --> 0:51:43.040 the toilet, You've made no contact with the door. Why 0:51:43.040 --> 0:51:44.680 do you need to wash your hand? That's just lazy. 0:51:44.880 --> 0:51:47.319 The handle you mentioned, But explain to me how that's 0:51:47.360 --> 0:51:49.880 going to cause a problem. If you didn't touch anything 0:51:50.440 --> 0:51:53.080 with your hands, why would that be a problem. One 0:51:53.080 --> 0:51:56.200 of the dirtiest pieces of equipment that we use every 0:51:56.280 --> 0:51:58.200 day as a cell phone. So you're using your cell 0:51:58.239 --> 0:52:01.080 phone prior to go to the bathroom. Anyway, you're you're 0:52:01.120 --> 0:52:04.399 steering wheel in your car. So I get that. But 0:52:04.880 --> 0:52:07.000 you see you go to the commode, you're in the outhouse, 0:52:07.640 --> 0:52:11.640 but you don't. You don't. It's a different By that logic, 0:52:11.680 --> 0:52:13.839 you should always wash your hands, you know, seven times 0:52:13.880 --> 0:52:16.600 a day and be like, what's that? What's that?

I shower before I go to the gym 0:52:39.440 --> 0:52:42.200 and then shower after. So yeah, there's nothing wrong with 0:52:42.280 --> 0:52:46.520 being clean.

What's that we need to 0:53:36.080 --> 0:53:39.400 get it on an airline Like Delta and Jet Blue 0:53:39.560 --> 0:53:43.640 have along with their channels for serious and and Direct TV, 0:53:44.560 --> 0:53:47.000 they have a podcasting platform. There's only like six or 0:53:47.000 --> 0:53:49.560 seven podcasts on their on their platform, but let me 0:53:49.560 --> 0:53:54.040 guess they're all Joe Rogan podcast, mainstream Rogan at all. 0:53:54.080 --> 0:53:58.239 It was like some cooking bullshit, a political one. You 0:53:58.320 --> 0:54:00.800 just want to know about that. Yeah, it is pretty 0:54:00.800 --> 0:54:04.240 cool though. Fox Sports Radio is on some of those 0:54:04.360 --> 0:54:09.440 airlines and people can listen and obviously on the cross country, 0:54:10.040 --> 0:54:13.239 continental intercontinental flight or whatever, you can listen to this 0:54:13.280 --> 0:54:15.960 show and it's uh. I remember we used to have 0:54:15.960 --> 0:54:19.920 a guy, Steve Stillwell, it worked in our place and 0:54:20.000 --> 0:54:23.040 he flew from I think it was from from Buffalo 0:54:23.200 --> 0:54:25.520 to l A, or was from New York City to 0:54:25.680 --> 0:54:27.960 l A and he listened to UH. I used to 0:54:27.960 --> 0:54:30.960 do the show with the TV Dennis The Blitz, which 0:54:31.040 --> 0:54:35.000 was on Sunday was seven hours of updating the NFL 0:54:35.200 --> 0:54:39.320 right all day long and this uh, this guy alright, 0:54:39.400 --> 0:54:42.080 this loser and I know he's a nice guy, but 0:54:42.160 --> 0:54:47.120 he he flew listened to the show and then was 0:54:47.160 --> 0:54:50.879 so agitated by the show. He was distraught. He said, 0:54:50.920 --> 0:54:54.640 you know, they're just giving scores for seven hours rather boring. 0:54:56.600 --> 0:54:59.399 I say, hey, dummy, that's how the show works. Why 0:54:59.400 --> 0:55:01.319 are you confus used by that? And he worked on 0:55:01.360 --> 0:55:04.200 the show, which made it even more ridiculous. All right, 0:55:04.400 --> 0:55:06.879 Jesse from Pomona Rights, and he says, my question is 0:55:06.920 --> 0:55:10.440 would you rather? Would you rather stay at your overnight 0:55:10.480 --> 0:55:14.880 position on Fox with the same crew, same money, or 0:55:14.920 --> 0:55:18.319 would you take a TV gig with gag on for 0:55:18.440 --> 0:55:23.239 a slight three raise the answer to this, that's for Jesse. Well, no, 0:55:23.320 --> 0:55:25.000 I'm an over I I want my cake and I 0:55:25.040 --> 0:55:26.680 want to eat it too, so I would I would 0:55:26.680 --> 0:55:32.320 like both, um, but three per cents not enough. TV 0:55:32.480 --> 0:55:35.400 money is different, Jesse, than radio money, and certainly different 0:55:35.440 --> 0:55:40.479 than overnight money in radios. So if any TV job 0:55:40.560 --> 0:55:43.440 would pay a tremendous amount of money compared to what 0:55:43.520 --> 0:55:46.800 I make right now, so I would be very interested 0:55:46.800 --> 0:55:49.720 in that. But I would like to keep the the show. 0:55:49.960 --> 0:55:52.600 We have such a great thing going on. Why blow it? Right? 0:55:52.680 --> 0:55:57.440 Come on? Uh, let's see a new in Owensboro, Kentucky. 0:55:57.560 --> 0:56:00.680 Rights in. He says, Ben, since you have family New York, 0:56:01.080 --> 0:56:03.919 which happens to be my hometown, did you ever ride 0:56:03.960 --> 0:56:06.160 the subway? What do you think of it? Yes, I knew. 0:56:06.239 --> 0:56:08.279 I ride the subway all the time, although not the 0:56:08.360 --> 0:56:10.600 last couple of trips because my wife is very boogie. 0:56:11.040 --> 0:56:13.640 She's not a woman of the people and she cannot 0:56:13.640 --> 0:56:17.000 handle public transportation. But um went in rollm act like 0:56:17.040 --> 0:56:19.560 a rollman, right, uh? And I when I went in 0:56:19.560 --> 0:56:21.840 New York, you take the subway. I I don't mind it, 0:56:21.880 --> 0:56:24.759 although I understand the subway has gotten gotten bad, much 0:56:24.800 --> 0:56:27.120 like l A and San Francisco and all that with 0:56:27.200 --> 0:56:30.360 the homeless people and whatnot. But yeah, I have fond 0:56:30.360 --> 0:56:32.600 memories when I when I first went to New York 0:56:33.160 --> 0:56:37.920 and I was like still a teenager and trying to navigate. 0:56:37.960 --> 0:56:40.560 I've never been on the public transportation trying to navigate 0:56:40.640 --> 0:56:43.440 the the train system in New York. And I remember 0:56:43.520 --> 0:56:48.520 one time I got confused and I thought, hey, um, 0:56:48.719 --> 0:56:50.520 the train will just go back to where you know, 0:56:50.520 --> 0:56:52.520 if I stay on the train, it'll stop at the 0:56:52.600 --> 0:56:54.879 end and then go back to where I got on. 0:56:54.920 --> 0:56:58.520 The train didn't quite work out. The train stopped in 0:56:58.640 --> 0:57:01.799 Harlem and and uh, and this is when Harlem was 0:57:01.840 --> 0:57:04.000 worse than it is now. And you know, they cleaned 0:57:04.000 --> 0:57:05.400 it up, but it was not a good part of 0:57:05.440 --> 0:57:09.160 New York. And the conductor gets on and says, all right, 0:57:09.239 --> 0:57:12.640 end of the line, trains going out of service. So 0:57:13.040 --> 0:57:17.200 I'm this naive kid from the O c uh and 0:57:17.320 --> 0:57:19.600 I get out of the train. I'm like, holy fuck, 0:57:19.680 --> 0:57:22.280 I'm in Harlem. And it was late. You know, I 0:57:22.280 --> 0:57:25.120 didn't know the train schedule at that station, and I 0:57:25.480 --> 0:57:28.600 was like, oh man, But yeah, I have fun memories 0:57:28.600 --> 0:57:31.480 of the the train. I like it. I think it's cool. 0:57:31.560 --> 0:57:33.520 How I took the public transportation in l A I 0:57:33.600 --> 0:57:36.200 used to live. When I lived in Lincoln Heights, I 0:57:36.240 --> 0:57:39.240 lived right near a Gold Line station, and I took 0:57:39.280 --> 0:57:41.959 that all the time. Do you like the subway better 0:57:42.000 --> 0:57:46.080 than the tea in Boston? Uh? The t is pretty cool. Yeah, 0:57:46.120 --> 0:57:48.240 I mean, I like all. I think it's all kind 0:57:48.280 --> 0:57:50.960 of same. I like the Tea, which is mostly above ground. 0:57:50.960 --> 0:57:54.240 There was the underground part, but I you know, I'm 0:57:54.240 --> 0:57:57.000 fine with any of that. I think Seattle is pretty cool. 0:57:57.040 --> 0:58:00.560 Seattle has like the the Metro. It's like the thing 0:58:00.560 --> 0:58:03.600 at Disneyland. What do you call it, monil the mono rail. Yeah, 0:58:03.640 --> 0:58:05.640 it's like a mono rail type thing. Yes, I haven't 0:58:05.640 --> 0:58:08.080 seen that, which is kind of cool. Yeah, it's pretty cool. 0:58:08.400 --> 0:58:11.520 Uh let's see here. Nick in Omaha rights and he says, 0:58:11.520 --> 0:58:15.880 who was your childhood sports hero? Did you ever meet them? Yes? Nick, 0:58:16.160 --> 0:58:20.520 in fact, this is very bizarre. But I got started 0:58:20.640 --> 0:58:23.800 in the business when I was nineteen years old. So 0:58:23.840 --> 0:58:26.240 I got into radio when I was nineteen, and I 0:58:26.280 --> 0:58:28.840 got a pretty big break kind of early. I got 0:58:28.920 --> 0:58:31.520 hired by the Mighty six ninety in San Diego to 0:58:31.560 --> 0:58:35.959 be their roaming radio stringer, which was a cool job, 0:58:36.000 --> 0:58:37.520 and it was a job that didn't pay a lot, 0:58:37.600 --> 0:58:39.520 but I got to go to games every night, Like 0:58:39.560 --> 0:58:43.880 I'd go to the you know, Angels, Dodgers, Lakers, Clippers, Kings, 0:58:44.840 --> 0:58:47.000 and then the Ducks do some of that stuff too. 0:58:47.000 --> 0:58:49.680 So I was on out of game every night, USC football, 0:58:49.800 --> 0:58:52.720 U c l A Basketball, I kind of stuff. But 0:58:52.760 --> 0:58:54.760 when I first started was nineteen, so you know, six 0:58:54.840 --> 0:58:57.480 years earlier, I was thirteen, or you know, seven years 0:58:57.480 --> 0:58:59.040 I was twelve, and a lot of those guys were 0:58:59.080 --> 0:59:02.280 still playing, and so I remember, like the people I 0:59:02.320 --> 0:59:05.880 looked up to, like Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan's and 0:59:05.920 --> 0:59:10.840 all this. And Reggie Jackson. Now Reggie wasn't playing, but 0:59:10.960 --> 0:59:13.720 he was broadcasting, and so I got to meet him. 0:59:13.760 --> 0:59:16.040 He was my big baseball He was read Mr October. 0:59:16.120 --> 0:59:18.480 Reggie Jackson. I loved the swagger and all that stuff, 0:59:18.800 --> 0:59:20.440 and I got to meet him, and uh, it was 0:59:20.520 --> 0:59:24.120 very weird, though. It was like surreal because when you're 0:59:24.120 --> 0:59:26.040 through the eyes of a child, you look at these 0:59:26.080 --> 0:59:31.640 people as these unbelievable, bigger than life people, and then 0:59:32.360 --> 0:59:35.080 you meet them and you know they they fart and 0:59:35.120 --> 0:59:37.000 do stuff that we all do. You know, it's very 0:59:37.040 --> 0:59:39.840 it's very weird. I remember one time Kirby Puckett, the 0:59:39.960 --> 0:59:43.600 late great Kirby Puckett in the Uh in the locker 0:59:43.640 --> 0:59:47.880 and they were playing like a game of marbles. How 0:59:47.880 --> 0:59:49.480 about that. That's a long time ago. I don't think 0:59:49.520 --> 0:59:51.400 they play marbles anymore, but they were betting on it 0:59:51.680 --> 0:59:56.800 in the Twins locker room and uh, Kirby and I 0:59:56.880 --> 0:59:58.360 was a fan of his. I love because he was 0:59:58.440 --> 1:00:01.640 very diminutive for the Twinkies, Kirby Puckett back in the day, 1:00:01.640 --> 1:00:03.000 and he was you know he was the round mound 1:00:03.040 --> 1:00:05.960 of baseball town. And but he remember he came up 1:00:06.000 --> 1:00:08.040 to me because I was like, I was very fat 1:00:08.120 --> 1:00:10.840 at this time and massive, and he was like blown 1:00:10.840 --> 1:00:13.640 away by how big I was and uh and he 1:00:13.720 --> 1:00:15.800 was cracking jokes with the guys on the Twins. And 1:00:15.840 --> 1:00:18.640 I remember because it was I was like, wow, this 1:00:18.680 --> 1:00:20.920 guy used to I remember watching him in the World 1:00:20.960 --> 1:00:23.680 Series and now making this great play in center field 1:00:23.680 --> 1:00:26.800 for the Twins. And now he's making he's making derogatory 1:00:26.840 --> 1:00:30.600 comments about me, how great is my life? But I 1:00:30.600 --> 1:00:33.320 mean there's a bunch of little stories like that that 1:00:33.320 --> 1:00:35.600 that are kind of cool. But what about you? Gascon 1:00:35.680 --> 1:00:38.080 and he and he asked me Eric and omaha, but 1:00:38.240 --> 1:00:40.680 did you ever or Nick and olmah brother, did you 1:00:40.720 --> 1:00:43.680 ever meet anybody that you was a hero of yours 1:00:43.680 --> 1:00:47.760 as a kid. Yeah, I've only met one um when 1:00:47.760 --> 1:00:51.360 I was a kid, I mean across the platform football, basketball, baseball, 1:00:51.360 --> 1:00:55.960 and hockey. But I've met Gretzky once. Um. Actually no 1:00:56.080 --> 1:00:58.640 strike that I met him twice. The one time I 1:00:58.680 --> 1:01:01.160 didn't meet him was on a real sour note. I 1:01:01.160 --> 1:01:02.960 don't know if you you've ever saw I think it 1:01:03.000 --> 1:01:07.720 was Superman too, and that's very sour Superman too. Listen, well, 1:01:07.800 --> 1:01:11.440 Christopher Reeve as Superman comes down with a virus or 1:01:11.480 --> 1:01:13.960 like they called a cold. Was it the coronavirus? I 1:01:13.960 --> 1:01:17.280 don't know, because he survived um and he gets this 1:01:17.400 --> 1:01:20.040 vicious twelve o'clock shodow. He just turns into a bad guy. 1:01:20.720 --> 1:01:23.720 I bring that up because the last time I saw Gretzky, 1:01:23.760 --> 1:01:26.960 it was at the Venetian Hotel and he was playing 1:01:27.880 --> 1:01:32.160 blackjack with his agent and a buddy mine saw him, 1:01:32.360 --> 1:01:33.960 and so he said, you should go play at the 1:01:34.000 --> 1:01:37.040 same table with Gretzky. So I sat down. I was 1:01:37.040 --> 1:01:40.400 playing with him and Ben. He just had stacks of chips, 1:01:40.440 --> 1:01:43.400 but he was losing his ass. It was hand after 1:01:43.560 --> 1:01:47.640 hand after hand. My buddy over my shoulders, like, hey, 1:01:47.680 --> 1:01:49.240 that's a great one. And he heard him and he 1:01:49.320 --> 1:01:51.400 was like, yeah, not so great anymore. And he proceeded 1:01:51.440 --> 1:01:54.880 just to continue to lose his ass. He walked away. 1:01:55.240 --> 1:01:57.360 He had stacks of chips, watched away. There was nothing 1:01:57.440 --> 1:01:59.640 left in his in his tank. So I had a 1:01:59.720 --> 1:02:01.840 chance meet him once as an adult, once as a 1:02:01.920 --> 1:02:05.200 kid um, but never had the chance to meet meet 1:02:05.280 --> 1:02:08.720 John Elway. He was he was my favorite growing up. 1:02:09.600 --> 1:02:11.960 I was like, you like Barkley. I liked her Schizer 1:02:12.040 --> 1:02:14.800 and sosha Um, but never had a chance to meet 1:02:15.160 --> 1:02:18.560 to meet John l A. I had a moment with Barkley. 1:02:18.600 --> 1:02:20.600 I love Barkley and I had a moment when he 1:02:20.640 --> 1:02:23.920 was playing at the end of his career and it 1:02:24.040 --> 1:02:25.720 was at the l A Line I think it was 1:02:26.840 --> 1:02:29.320 actually so it's twenty one years ago. It was the 1:02:29.440 --> 1:02:33.280 last year of State of Sports Arena before Staples Center, 1:02:34.040 --> 1:02:36.360 and so it was like they were talking about the 1:02:36.360 --> 1:02:38.760 final year of the NBA, and so they wanted me 1:02:38.800 --> 1:02:42.680 to get sound bites to these guys. So I this 1:02:42.720 --> 1:02:45.520 was a viral moment before the Internet really took over. 1:02:45.560 --> 1:02:47.760 And I asked Barkley, I said, hey, you have any 1:02:47.760 --> 1:02:52.080 fond memories of the l A Sports Arena, And he 1:02:52.200 --> 1:02:54.640 proceeded to tell me that he he would like to 1:02:54.680 --> 1:02:59.360 be there when they detonate the explosives in the arena 1:03:01.720 --> 1:03:05.160 that could be arranged, which eventually I guess they did 1:03:05.240 --> 1:03:07.080 use a wrecking ball. It did come down, but that 1:03:07.200 --> 1:03:09.720 was a long time after the the arena. I remember 1:03:09.720 --> 1:03:12.160 one time when I was a kid, I went to 1:03:12.200 --> 1:03:15.680 a Clippers sixers game when Barkley was a big star 1:03:15.880 --> 1:03:19.680 for the Sixers, you know, and and that asshole got 1:03:19.680 --> 1:03:22.920 ejected in the first quarter. He got two technical fouls, 1:03:23.240 --> 1:03:25.040 you know. And I'm like, oh my go I want 1:03:25.040 --> 1:03:27.000 to see him once a year, and this a hole 1:03:27.040 --> 1:03:29.160 got ejected. I was so piste off. I was so 1:03:29.280 --> 1:03:32.000 bummed up. That's pretty good. You know what a funny story. 1:03:32.360 --> 1:03:35.280 There's a there's this woman she passed away I think 1:03:35.360 --> 1:03:37.840 last year. She went by the name of Boston Donna, 1:03:38.680 --> 1:03:41.680 and she was friends with my my dad and at 1:03:41.720 --> 1:03:44.680 the time, back in the day, as a kid, Boston 1:03:44.800 --> 1:03:49.280 Donna was the stylist, the little stylist for the Lakers 1:03:49.400 --> 1:03:54.920 and Kings players. So she cut everybody's hair like owners, general, managers, players, 1:03:55.640 --> 1:03:58.320 And that meant as a stylist, you knew dirt on 1:03:58.560 --> 1:04:03.360 fucking everybody. Uh my first come to Jesus moment. I 1:04:03.360 --> 1:04:06.600 don't know if you remember, at the Form Club, which 1:04:06.640 --> 1:04:08.480 is in the middle portion of the Great Western Forum, 1:04:09.240 --> 1:04:11.560 debauchery took place. Yes, yes, a lot of a lot 1:04:11.640 --> 1:04:14.120 of it. Well, my dad and mom were there for 1:04:14.200 --> 1:04:16.800 a King's game. They took me as a kid into 1:04:16.800 --> 1:04:22.959 the Form Club and Boston Donna went rogue. She went 1:04:23.040 --> 1:04:25.680 in front of my parents to Bruce mcnal, who was 1:04:25.720 --> 1:04:28.040 the former general manager of the l A Kings but 1:04:28.160 --> 1:04:32.520 went to prison for on the owner, yeah, general owner, yeah, 1:04:32.520 --> 1:04:35.480 so on on federal charges. He went away, but she 1:04:35.640 --> 1:04:38.000 called him out on all that stuff. She's like, I 1:04:38.040 --> 1:04:41.400 know about you, motherfucker. You're a crook, you're a thief, 1:04:41.440 --> 1:04:43.880 you're a steel all the and I you know, I'm 1:04:43.960 --> 1:04:46.520 eight years old. I had no idea what's up from 1:04:46.560 --> 1:04:49.680 down and she was calling him out before any of 1:04:49.720 --> 1:04:52.920 the stuff transpired. But this is the year that he 1:04:53.000 --> 1:04:56.600 acquired Gretzky from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for some 1:04:56.680 --> 1:04:59.800 cash and some players. And obviously that cash was not 1:05:00.160 --> 1:05:03.960 is but he was an embezzling, like the whole nine yards, right, 1:05:04.200 --> 1:05:07.120 this is the guy that went to federal prison. Uh, 1:05:07.440 --> 1:05:10.360 you have five six, seven years later and she called 1:05:10.400 --> 1:05:12.640 him out in the mid eighties. So it was a 1:05:12.640 --> 1:05:15.920 pretty wild time that was. That was a fascinating moment 1:05:16.080 --> 1:05:19.040 as a youth at the Form club. Yeah, well, did 1:05:19.120 --> 1:05:21.800 you know have you heard the Bruce mcnal stories when 1:05:21.800 --> 1:05:24.480 he went to jail. No, these are legendari these are 1:05:24.480 --> 1:05:27.320 part of l A Sports legends. So Bruce mcnaal, everyone 1:05:27.400 --> 1:05:29.720 loved him. Yeah, he was really loved him. He had 1:05:29.720 --> 1:05:33.200 a big personality and he was very social and everyone 1:05:33.240 --> 1:05:36.200 could not say good things about if you knew this guy, 1:05:36.280 --> 1:05:40.160 he treated you well. He spoiled everybody, um, and so 1:05:40.360 --> 1:05:42.240 people loved him. And then when he went to jail, 1:05:43.040 --> 1:05:46.160 he was It is the definition of club fet you know, 1:05:46.200 --> 1:05:48.640 like the good fellows were all cooking a nice meals 1:05:48.640 --> 1:05:52.360 and there lobster and so the story was on the 1:05:52.400 --> 1:05:56.360 weekends they'd have these softball games at the jail that 1:05:56.400 --> 1:05:58.520 Bruce mcnal was. I think it was near Santa Barbara, 1:05:58.520 --> 1:06:00.720 if I remember correctly. They used to know all the details. 1:06:01.040 --> 1:06:03.520 Over time, I've forgotten them, um, but it was I 1:06:03.560 --> 1:06:06.160 think one of the Santa Barbara and a lot of 1:06:06.200 --> 1:06:09.120 the celebrities that would go to the keys games would 1:06:09.200 --> 1:06:12.080 go hang out at the jail to watch Bruce McNall 1:06:12.200 --> 1:06:16.200 play in the celebrity softball games. Hand to god and uh. 1:06:16.240 --> 1:06:18.680 It was such a relaxed environment because it was you know, 1:06:18.760 --> 1:06:22.800 white collar criminal and all that stuff. And the stories 1:06:22.840 --> 1:06:24.840 I heard, obviously they were second hand. I never went, 1:06:24.920 --> 1:06:28.680 but then they were legendary stories. Legendaries, and you imagine 1:06:28.680 --> 1:06:31.840 you're at a prison softball game and there's all these 1:06:31.880 --> 1:06:36.640 Hollywood starts. Yeah, because what do they say in good Fellas? 1:06:36.680 --> 1:06:38.440 Like you went away to get away from your wife? 1:06:38.600 --> 1:06:40.840 That's what? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I love good I 1:06:40.840 --> 1:06:42.880 heard good Fellows is back on Netflix. I gotta watch 1:06:42.920 --> 1:06:45.200 it this weekend. I love That's my favorite movie. Good Fellas, 1:06:45.240 --> 1:06:48.240 good Fellas or Casino? Did you like Casino too? No, 1:06:48.320 --> 1:06:50.480 I'm good Fellas, Goo, good fellow I gotta watch Casino. 1:06:50.480 --> 1:06:51.840 I haven't watched that in a long time. I gotta 1:06:51.880 --> 1:06:54.640 check that out. But good Fellas is the all time great. 1:06:54.760 --> 1:06:57.440 Eric and Omaha, we went back to back, belly to belly. 1:06:57.960 --> 1:07:00.840 People from Omaha that loved the fifth Hour. By the way, 1:07:00.880 --> 1:07:05.000 my old boss, the great Mike Thompson, program director extraordinaire 1:07:05.200 --> 1:07:07.880 of the Big Sports talk station in Omaha, Nebraska. How 1:07:07.880 --> 1:07:11.880 about that, my old boss running things in Omaha's true story? 1:07:12.160 --> 1:07:15.560 All right, if you had a time machine, what decade 1:07:15.600 --> 1:07:17.840 in the nineteen hundreds did you go back and live in? 1:07:17.880 --> 1:07:21.560 That's from Eric in Omaha. Well, Eric, there's two ways 1:07:21.560 --> 1:07:24.080 I will answer this. Number One, from a sports standpoint, 1:07:24.680 --> 1:07:27.200 I think it would be kind of cool to see 1:07:27.320 --> 1:07:30.440 the legendary Babe Ruth play for the Yankees. So that 1:07:30.480 --> 1:07:33.360 would be in New York. But from a financial standpoint, 1:07:33.840 --> 1:07:36.000 I would like to live in Los Angeles in the 1:07:36.000 --> 1:07:39.400 early nineteen hundreds of San Francisco and by real estate. 1:07:40.040 --> 1:07:42.600 All right, that's what I would like to do because 1:07:43.000 --> 1:07:48.160 that would lead to tremendous wealth for future generations. What 1:07:48.240 --> 1:07:51.760 about you guess, Gunn Yeah, I'm thinking seventies or eighties 1:07:51.800 --> 1:07:54.880 would be en seventies or eighties, you know, No, I'm 1:07:54.880 --> 1:07:57.320 talking about early nineteen hundreds. Week in real estate was 1:07:57.440 --> 1:08:00.000 cheap still, well, real estate was cheap in the seventies 1:08:00.000 --> 1:08:02.040 and eighties, but not as cheap as it wasn't like 1:08:02.080 --> 1:08:05.240 the thirties. But you gotta go through the depression. And 1:08:05.240 --> 1:08:07.920 you also had to go through the wars too, the 1:08:07.960 --> 1:08:11.920 Wars the Crimal But have you bought my My grandfather 1:08:12.000 --> 1:08:13.680 had a chance to buy a bunch of land in 1:08:13.760 --> 1:08:18.040 the sand San Fernando Valley because nobody wanted to live 1:08:18.040 --> 1:08:20.040 there and it was nothing, it was farmland, and he 1:08:20.080 --> 1:08:22.439 didn't do it. And now I drive through the San 1:08:22.439 --> 1:08:24.200 Fernando Valley in l A. It's like you gotta be 1:08:24.400 --> 1:08:27.880 freaking kidding me. You know this is the whole family 1:08:27.920 --> 1:08:31.960 would have generational wealth if he had done that. I'm 1:08:32.000 --> 1:08:34.120 seventies or eighties. Man, I couldn't go that far back. 1:08:35.080 --> 1:08:38.280 Oh please, it's it's a hypothetical question, dummy. I wouldn't 1:08:38.280 --> 1:08:41.120 want to go that far back, all right. Jason in 1:08:41.200 --> 1:08:43.880 Tampa says, after listening to your podcast, I must truly 1:08:43.880 --> 1:08:47.680 say Rob Manford and gag On have one major thing 1:08:47.720 --> 1:08:51.080 in common. They are both truly full of shit and 1:08:51.160 --> 1:08:53.639 live in their own reality and don't have a clue 1:08:53.800 --> 1:08:57.400 what is really going on around them. Your thoughts, Oh, 1:08:58.120 --> 1:09:02.120 that's just well. Put where's he from again? Tampa? FLOORA 1:09:02.240 --> 1:09:04.240 Jason and TAMAI you go to Florida. Maybe you can 1:09:04.320 --> 1:09:07.040 visit Jason, have a lunch with him. There's a there's 1:09:07.080 --> 1:09:11.000 an awesome hotel. Uh, speaking of Tampa, he can actually 1:09:11.000 --> 1:09:14.080 attest to this. It's in St. Petersburg called the Donces 1:09:14.120 --> 1:09:19.599 Are it is you spoke about good Fellas, Ben, This 1:09:19.680 --> 1:09:23.679 hotel is is straight out of good Fellas or Casino. 1:09:23.880 --> 1:09:28.879 It's it's pink with white lining around the overall hotel 1:09:29.280 --> 1:09:33.200 and the beaches there the sand is solid white. It's 1:09:33.280 --> 1:09:37.120 absolutely gorgeous, But yeah, the don cs Are Hotel in St. 1:09:37.120 --> 1:09:40.200 Petersburg and Ben that was the That was the spot 1:09:41.320 --> 1:09:45.280 where my bosses would go all the time. And if 1:09:45.320 --> 1:09:47.120 you ever get a chance to go down to Tampa, 1:09:47.200 --> 1:09:49.559 I would highly recommend if you you and the missles go, 1:09:49.680 --> 1:09:51.799 or if you go down there to watch a raised 1:09:51.800 --> 1:09:55.519 game with your boy Blake snell Um, No, what the 1:09:55.560 --> 1:09:57.280 funk is he talking about? Like, I don't have a 1:09:57.320 --> 1:09:59.760 clue a clue about what? Like what is her referencing? 1:10:00.360 --> 1:10:03.519 I can try to touch with society much like Rob Manford. 1:10:03.880 --> 1:10:07.639 You want me to interpret what Jason is saying. Moron 1:10:07.640 --> 1:10:10.000 members out of touch with the common man. The common 1:10:10.160 --> 1:10:12.880 sports fan thinks the astros should be punished. I think 1:10:13.600 --> 1:10:16.120 you think those players should be actually be banned. I 1:10:16.120 --> 1:10:19.000 think the two titles between Houston and Boston should be 1:10:19.080 --> 1:10:21.840 vacated and nobody should have gotten them in two thousand. 1:10:22.800 --> 1:10:25.040 So Jason saying that Rob Manford's out of touch with 1:10:25.080 --> 1:10:27.879 the populace, you're also out of touch with the Mallem militia. 1:10:27.920 --> 1:10:30.799 You don't relate to the common man. So it's different. 1:10:30.800 --> 1:10:33.200 But it's because you west of the four fun I 1:10:33.200 --> 1:10:38.320 get paid peanuts just like they do. There's only you're not. 1:10:38.479 --> 1:10:41.200 You know, you're dealing with people that have hard working jobs, 1:10:41.240 --> 1:10:44.400 blue collar jobs. Most of them don't relate to these people, 1:10:44.479 --> 1:10:47.320 so do I. It is very blue collar to do 1:10:47.400 --> 1:10:49.879 the ship that I do for you, for the network 1:10:49.920 --> 1:10:52.200 and for other platforms that because I do it all 1:10:52.240 --> 1:10:56.439 by myself. All right, Moving on Kohlie in Round Rock 1:10:56.760 --> 1:11:00.000 right San, he says, with toilet paper being completely bought 1:11:00.000 --> 1:11:04.160 out by paranoid masses at Costco, what would your go 1:11:04.360 --> 1:11:08.800 to be for backdoor maintenance? And he says, a sock, cat, 1:11:09.000 --> 1:11:13.320 et cetera, some cold, well cold. That's a great question. 1:11:13.360 --> 1:11:14.760 I often think about what do you do if you 1:11:14.840 --> 1:11:17.600 run out of toilet paper? What do you do? Um, 1:11:17.720 --> 1:11:19.920 there's several options. You could obviously just use your hand 1:11:19.920 --> 1:11:21.479 and then wash your hand really good. That would be 1:11:21.560 --> 1:11:25.080 rather disgusting. I think I'd go old school gascon number two. 1:11:25.120 --> 1:11:27.639 I would use leaves, because it wasn't that the original 1:11:27.640 --> 1:11:29.960 toilet paper? Yeah? Yeah, so I think I would go 1:11:30.000 --> 1:11:32.320 with a nice But you gotta make sure the leaf 1:11:32.479 --> 1:11:34.639 is just freshly pulled off the tree, right. You don't 1:11:34.640 --> 1:11:36.800 want to use a leaf that's been laying on the 1:11:36.840 --> 1:11:38.920 ground for a while because that's on sanitary if you 1:11:38.920 --> 1:11:44.639 get poison ivy, yeah, you would like that free. Could 1:11:44.640 --> 1:11:46.959 you imagine that? By the way, where is your defecated 1:11:47.040 --> 1:11:50.519 underwear at these days? Uh, you know it's been washed 1:11:50.560 --> 1:11:53.000 and you know clean. And I had a couple of 1:11:53.040 --> 1:11:56.240 people that responded to me, men and women, that said 1:11:56.640 --> 1:12:02.120 that they related to your your misfortune about the pants. Yes, 1:12:02.280 --> 1:12:04.920 that was wild. It's uh see, I'm not alone. There's 1:12:04.920 --> 1:12:06.680 a lot of people that don't talk about See. I 1:12:06.760 --> 1:12:08.920 made the mistake of talking about it, and I compromised 1:12:08.960 --> 1:12:11.760 myself by talking about it. But yeah, it's a it 1:12:11.840 --> 1:12:14.439 is a great story. You figure most people after ship 1:12:14.520 --> 1:12:16.679 at least a couple of times a day, at least 1:12:16.760 --> 1:12:19.040 once a day. So if you do the math and 1:12:19.080 --> 1:12:20.759 you look at how many people live in the world, 1:12:21.280 --> 1:12:24.759 you know, something goes haywire. You know, something goes something 1:12:24.760 --> 1:12:27.679 from a job inside there. The timing is all wrong 1:12:27.800 --> 1:12:30.080 and uh, you know you have an accent. It happens. 1:12:30.200 --> 1:12:32.559 You gotta use it. Yeah, you gotta use leaves. You 1:12:32.560 --> 1:12:34.639 gotta if you don't have if you don't have any 1:12:34.680 --> 1:12:40.320 other supplies. Ricky, Ricky and Beantown Rights and He says, 1:12:40.320 --> 1:12:43.960 have you enjoyed a nice Asian massage parlor? Ricky, I 1:12:44.000 --> 1:12:46.320 think we've had this question needed on the show. Yeah, 1:12:46.400 --> 1:12:47.920 well last week we had it. All right, So Ricky, 1:12:48.000 --> 1:12:54.840 we had this last week and no. Yeah. J from Scottsville, 1:12:54.920 --> 1:12:58.360 Kentucky rights in a great place on God's green Earth. 1:12:58.360 --> 1:13:01.439 He says, if you blinked and when you open your eyes, 1:13:01.560 --> 1:13:05.000 you were in a new career unrelated to radio. What 1:13:05.120 --> 1:13:08.559 job do you see yourself in? All right, well, thank you, Jay. 1:13:09.040 --> 1:13:11.799 I see myself as a podcaster. That's what I see myself. 1:13:15.240 --> 1:13:18.200 Uh No, listen. I wonder like what would have happened 1:13:18.240 --> 1:13:20.519 if I hadn't made it in radio, if I hadn't 1:13:20.560 --> 1:13:22.479 been able to get a job and keep a job 1:13:22.520 --> 1:13:25.120 for a while, Like what would I do? And I 1:13:25.120 --> 1:13:27.160 I've I've often said I think I could push the 1:13:27.160 --> 1:13:29.200 shopping carts at Costco. I think I could work at 1:13:29.240 --> 1:13:31.439 Costco behind the scenes there. I think that would be 1:13:31.479 --> 1:13:34.320 a a job that I would enjoy. But as far 1:13:34.360 --> 1:13:39.120 as like other jobs, I've been an amateur lawyer. I've 1:13:39.160 --> 1:13:41.920 been an amateur lawyer on the radio. So I think 1:13:41.960 --> 1:13:45.200 practicing law on getting into a heated legal argument, would 1:13:45.200 --> 1:13:47.320 be fun. I think that would be good. I'm also 1:13:47.360 --> 1:13:50.880 interested in real estate and investing in real estate and 1:13:50.920 --> 1:13:52.759 that kind of thing, so I think that would be interesting. 1:13:53.240 --> 1:13:55.040 You know, so that that kind of stuff. What about you, 1:13:55.040 --> 1:13:59.960 guess I've always said this, um waking up, I would 1:14:00.080 --> 1:14:05.599 say I am a hospitality executive. I love hotels, Ben. 1:14:05.680 --> 1:14:07.400 I don't know if it's because of Vegas. I'd go 1:14:07.439 --> 1:14:09.280 when I was a teenager to where I'm at now. 1:14:09.400 --> 1:14:13.040 But I love hotels like the w Hotel here in 1:14:13.200 --> 1:14:19.639 l a Um, the Langham Hotel in Pasadena. It's old school. No, 1:14:20.240 --> 1:14:23.400 they're in Los Angeles. Who cares? I just mentioned the dances. 1:14:23.479 --> 1:14:27.600 Are you think about the MGM Hotel in Vegas, the Venetian, 1:14:27.640 --> 1:14:31.040 the Bellagio. I love hotels. I think it's fascinating that 1:14:31.080 --> 1:14:33.519 you can take care of people just to get them 1:14:33.560 --> 1:14:38.880 away from their everyday live You mentioned sports why the 1:14:38.920 --> 1:14:42.719 beds usually suck? And I've been to hotels people leave 1:14:42.800 --> 1:14:45.360 ship in the rule, they don't clean the room properly. 1:14:45.520 --> 1:14:47.599 I want. I stayed at hotel in Vegas one time 1:14:47.720 --> 1:14:51.880 and there's somebody's driver's license and UH was in the room. 1:14:51.960 --> 1:14:55.040 They left their driver's license, and they're like, was there 1:14:55.080 --> 1:14:57.759 cocaine on a license? I don't. I don't know about that. 1:14:58.479 --> 1:15:02.439 I stay at the Cosmopolitan in Vegas a few years ago. Open. 1:15:02.479 --> 1:15:05.679 I have this standard operating procedure when I check in, 1:15:06.320 --> 1:15:09.320 I under the bed, opened up the sheets and there 1:15:09.360 --> 1:15:11.200 was a used condim and it it was pretty good. 1:15:12.160 --> 1:15:14.680 Was it yours? No? It was not mine. I just 1:15:14.720 --> 1:15:18.280 got in there, dummy. I like hotels, man, I like 1:15:18.800 --> 1:15:21.000 you made that very clear that ULI hotels. You don't 1:15:21.040 --> 1:15:23.479 need to repeat yourself. It's it's fine, we we do that. 1:15:23.479 --> 1:15:25.120 You would work at a hotel, is what you're saying now. 1:15:25.120 --> 1:15:29.000 I'd be an executive, like designing hotels and and building 1:15:29.120 --> 1:15:31.160 across the world. I'd love to do something like that, 1:15:31.520 --> 1:15:36.800 like a brand. Brian from north Bridge in Massachusetts. North 1:15:36.840 --> 1:15:39.360 Bridge from mass Right, Cindy says, been seeing that gascon 1:15:39.520 --> 1:15:43.320 proves how awful he is in every podcast. Do you 1:15:43.360 --> 1:15:48.719 think that I Heart Media is trying to savogage you? Also? 1:15:48.760 --> 1:15:52.519 Do you think he actually gagged while trying to advance 1:15:52.600 --> 1:15:54.840 his career. That's from Brian. I don't know the second 1:15:54.840 --> 1:15:57.479 part of that, but it has been whispered in hush 1:15:57.520 --> 1:16:01.320 tones that gascon Is, but he's been placed to derail 1:16:01.479 --> 1:16:04.720 my career, that he has been put in there to 1:16:04.920 --> 1:16:09.000 bring me down. No, No, I have actually said that 1:16:09.080 --> 1:16:11.360 to you via text, I think a couple of times, 1:16:11.400 --> 1:16:14.639 like I am here to try to derail your show. Yeah, 1:16:14.840 --> 1:16:18.160 and you are. You have man handled many a great show, 1:16:18.320 --> 1:16:20.320 that's true. I mean there's no you have people here 1:16:20.320 --> 1:16:24.160 in the building that can oppose my will so um, ironically, 1:16:24.200 --> 1:16:25.800 you don't have a lot of manhood, but you have 1:16:25.880 --> 1:16:33.599 made the man handle your Christmas parties anyway. Yeah, yeah, 1:16:33.600 --> 1:16:36.080 he showed up late and complained the food was cold 1:16:36.120 --> 1:16:38.479 when it was hot, when everyone else ate the food. 1:16:38.720 --> 1:16:41.720 I remember that. And then you you're like on the 1:16:41.760 --> 1:16:45.040 prowl at the at the party. There nothing wrong with that. 1:16:45.240 --> 1:16:50.920 Control yourself, Dan and Kalamazoo Rights. In Beautiful Calamazoo, he says, 1:16:51.000 --> 1:16:56.400 does Gagon get his creatine from Ashley Manning? I mean 1:16:56.479 --> 1:16:59.680 Chelsea Manning, fucking idiot? No, I think he's referring to 1:16:59.760 --> 1:17:07.120 ash Manning, which is Peyton Manning's wife. Oh, I think 1:17:07.280 --> 1:17:12.320 with the other way, Yeahsie, you're actually more relatable to 1:17:12.439 --> 1:17:15.320 the other any other Manning. You're an idiot. I got 1:17:15.360 --> 1:17:17.280 you well, you brought that up. I didn't bring it up. 1:17:17.439 --> 1:17:19.720 What's any thoughts on that? Get Where do you get 1:17:19.760 --> 1:17:22.040 your creating? How much does Create Team cost these days? 1:17:22.960 --> 1:17:25.760 I bought some Create Team for fifty dollars, but the 1:17:25.800 --> 1:17:29.320 servings it's just one table spoon and it's not enough. 1:17:29.439 --> 1:17:32.280 You want on the costco of creating. That's actually what 1:17:32.320 --> 1:17:35.040 it is. It's it's good for like sixty days or 1:17:35.080 --> 1:17:38.560 something like that. So are you a crusader to celebrate 1:17:38.600 --> 1:17:43.640 the virtues of creating? No? But Mark McGuire circle, No, 1:17:43.720 --> 1:17:45.840 I did do Andrew when they were on that home 1:17:45.920 --> 1:17:48.760 run spree. That actually got me into doing Andrew like 1:17:48.960 --> 1:17:53.880 him Sosa. Shannon Sharp was a big spokesman for e S. 1:17:54.600 --> 1:17:56.479 I remember that. Yeah, yeah, I did all that stuff 1:17:56.479 --> 1:17:58.120 back and then I mean it's like monkey see monkey 1:17:58.120 --> 1:18:00.600 do And I try to emulate Sharp when I played ball. Also, 1:18:01.160 --> 1:18:03.080 I don't know, I told you this last week. Just 1:18:03.200 --> 1:18:06.200 the age and like getting old and your muscle, you 1:18:06.280 --> 1:18:08.599 really try to you still try to emulate the way 1:18:08.640 --> 1:18:11.800 you talk. You still emulate Shannon Sharp. What do you 1:18:11.800 --> 1:18:13.599 trying to say? Like, I don't I sound like him 1:18:13.600 --> 1:18:15.040 when I talked? Yeah, you sound a little like you 1:18:15.080 --> 1:18:16.680 have the same cadence is him? You know, I do 1:18:16.800 --> 1:18:19.040 not definitely do that. Have you? Have you gone back 1:18:19.040 --> 1:18:22.440 and watched our tape when I call that beautiful performance 1:18:22.479 --> 1:18:25.400 was centennial and Jay Sarah, Oh the seventy thousand and 1:18:25.479 --> 1:18:29.160 nothing score that, Yes, it was swept away by the 1:18:29.200 --> 1:18:35.200 garbage time programming that we had. The game was a 1:18:35.240 --> 1:18:38.040 blowout and we got all your bits in the second half. 1:18:38.120 --> 1:18:42.679 So yeah, the only people watching were the mallam militia people. 1:18:43.760 --> 1:18:46.400 That was it. They only want watching anyway. Moving on here, 1:18:46.479 --> 1:18:49.000 let's see what do we have here? More questions? This 1:18:49.080 --> 1:18:51.120 is the grab bag, A lot of questions from people 1:18:51.160 --> 1:18:54.120 like yourself. Uh, here's one. Are you wearing a face 1:18:54.240 --> 1:18:56.280 mask when you go to Costco? This is some Richie 1:18:56.360 --> 1:18:58.960 the Boston guy. He says, are you gonna we're wearing 1:18:59.080 --> 1:19:02.599 a face mask at Costco this weekend? If you are, 1:19:02.640 --> 1:19:05.800 are you bringing the free samples home or eating them 1:19:05.880 --> 1:19:09.160 in the car? Now? Let me tell you something, Richie. 1:19:09.760 --> 1:19:13.240 I am a dare devil. I'm a thrill seeker, all right, 1:19:13.280 --> 1:19:16.280 I'm gonn adrenaline junkie. Do you understand that? So it 1:19:16.439 --> 1:19:19.040 is I will go to Costco, I will walk around. 1:19:19.040 --> 1:19:22.320 It's like swimming with great white sharks in South Africa. 1:19:22.360 --> 1:19:24.800 When you go to Costco with a coronavirus, I will 1:19:24.800 --> 1:19:28.320 be doing that, just like running with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, 1:19:28.479 --> 1:19:30.759 or driving two hundred miles an hour in the Autobahn 1:19:31.160 --> 1:19:33.800 in Germany going to Costco. But I'm not gonna wear 1:19:33.800 --> 1:19:36.320 a mask, and I'm gonna I think it's even better 1:19:36.360 --> 1:19:38.439 now because people don't want to go to Costco because 1:19:38.439 --> 1:19:41.559 they're afraid of the coronavirus, which means more samples for me, 1:19:42.200 --> 1:19:46.439 more samples for me. Don't be such a fat ass. 1:19:47.720 --> 1:19:51.080 It's my tradition. You can't get fat eating samples at 1:19:51.120 --> 1:19:59.000 Costco PA. Yes, yes, you can't. Alright anyway, what else? Uh? 1:19:59.040 --> 1:20:02.719 Here's another one from day and in Kalamazoo who wrote 1:20:02.760 --> 1:20:05.000 and he says, are you prepared for a couple of 1:20:05.040 --> 1:20:08.880 weeks of quarantine if need be? That's from Dan Oh 1:20:08.920 --> 1:20:12.360 absolutely not no, no, no, uh and not prepared at all. 1:20:12.439 --> 1:20:14.840 But you know you can figure out. You'll be fun. 1:20:14.920 --> 1:20:18.040 You are prepared because you get you have sick days, 1:20:18.160 --> 1:20:21.400 you have vacation days, you have camp days, you have 1:20:21.479 --> 1:20:24.519 all you have a plethora of days. That you can 1:20:24.560 --> 1:20:26.519 take off from work. Well, I don't need to take 1:20:26.600 --> 1:20:29.280 days so I can do the show from the Mallard mansion. 1:20:29.360 --> 1:20:31.439 I have to so I don't have to take any 1:20:31.520 --> 1:20:35.160 days off. Very relatable, Ben, that is very relatable. Steve 1:20:35.160 --> 1:20:37.479 Harvey relates to me, Rush Limbaugh does the show from 1:20:37.479 --> 1:20:40.200 his house. Very relatable. You know what's relatable as the 1:20:40.240 --> 1:20:43.200 figures that they make seven eight nine figures. And Ben 1:20:43.240 --> 1:20:51.120 Mallory yeaut there elite uh amilia no from west side 1:20:51.280 --> 1:20:55.599 of St. Paul, Minnesota. Right. So he says, question is 1:20:55.800 --> 1:20:58.680 for everybody there, and it's actually about Roberto. But I 1:20:58.680 --> 1:21:01.040 guess we can answer it. Hold on a second, my 1:21:01.080 --> 1:21:06.000 headphones came looser, kill yourself, kill yourself a little bit there. Well, 1:21:06.080 --> 1:21:08.639 what do you think? What's the name last a couple 1:21:08.640 --> 1:21:12.000 of days ago? The gambler? Um, what's the one that 1:21:12.080 --> 1:21:15.880 was threatening everybody with this dull knife? Oh? The guy 1:21:16.160 --> 1:21:21.000 Parley Pat Pats kill yourself jesus. Yeah, well there you guys, 1:21:21.000 --> 1:21:25.000 snap my headphones back here. Anyway, Ameliana says, we're Roberto 1:21:25.880 --> 1:21:29.280 too scared to enter the verbal octagon with Chris in Houston. 1:21:29.320 --> 1:21:32.800 He seemed shocked when Chris called him out as a 1:21:32.840 --> 1:21:36.080 little snowflake over blowing him up, hanging up on him, 1:21:36.160 --> 1:21:39.439 and was tongue tied. And then he says, will Roberto 1:21:39.520 --> 1:21:43.280 pull a whoopie pie Blair and no show versus Marcel? 1:21:44.360 --> 1:21:49.439 So yeah, I remember that Chris went a tack dog. 1:21:49.520 --> 1:21:56.120 He went piranha on Roberto, and uh, Roberto could have 1:21:56.160 --> 1:21:58.160 handled that a little bit better. But I would take 1:21:58.240 --> 1:22:03.200 Roberto over Chris because Roberto has the power of fading 1:22:03.240 --> 1:22:07.680 down Chris. So Chris would not get a word in edgewise, 1:22:08.040 --> 1:22:10.960 and it would be an advantage. He might be able 1:22:11.000 --> 1:22:15.960 to maybe poke the nose of of Roberto, but in 1:22:15.960 --> 1:22:18.640 the end Roberto would come back with enough haymakers that 1:22:18.760 --> 1:22:21.920 Chris would be marginalized. He's just not good content, Like, 1:22:21.920 --> 1:22:24.120 why would you put that guy? I'd rather have Marcel 1:22:24.280 --> 1:22:26.559 on the air than than than Chris and Hughes, this 1:22:26.640 --> 1:22:30.080 is not helpful. Now you're just inspiring him to now 1:22:30.280 --> 1:22:32.880 harass you more. He's not gonna He's not harassing me. 1:22:32.960 --> 1:22:35.640 I don't even pay attention to that bug, all right? 1:22:35.880 --> 1:22:38.200 Moving on, Carlos in Houston writes and he says, I 1:22:38.200 --> 1:22:42.760 don't normally ask sports questions, are you guys liking the 1:22:42.800 --> 1:22:46.840 new Rockets small ball lineup. Well, you know, Carlos, it 1:22:47.080 --> 1:22:50.760 goes against my DNA to say anything a negative or 1:22:51.040 --> 1:22:53.639 well actually anything positive about Houston and all that stuff. 1:22:54.080 --> 1:22:59.200 But I actually do like the small ball because it's 1:22:59.200 --> 1:23:01.679 a version of a D'Antoni system. I was a big 1:23:01.720 --> 1:23:04.040 fan of the Mike D'Antoni system with the Sons. I 1:23:04.160 --> 1:23:06.320 love the way the Sun's played when they had Steve 1:23:06.439 --> 1:23:10.519 Nash and Mari Stottomeyer and the Matrix Sean Mary and 1:23:10.920 --> 1:23:13.400 I love those teams. They were fun to watch. They 1:23:13.400 --> 1:23:16.880 were entertaining. You penetrate your pass, you shoot all that 1:23:17.800 --> 1:23:23.080 flying around the court. It was awesome. And I we've 1:23:23.120 --> 1:23:25.160 got away from that. I know now it's just a 1:23:25.240 --> 1:23:28.679 jump shooting consists like a Papa shot uh in the NBA. 1:23:29.439 --> 1:23:32.320 But the way I'll answers, do I like it? Yes, 1:23:32.840 --> 1:23:36.040 I absolutely like the way that the Rockets are playing. 1:23:36.160 --> 1:23:40.479 There's no question about it. Will it work? No, it 1:23:40.520 --> 1:23:42.840 will not work. They can It's not a sustainable thing. 1:23:42.880 --> 1:23:45.280 They're not gonna be able to win a championship playing 1:23:45.280 --> 1:23:48.360 that style of play. Uh, And they would have to 1:23:48.479 --> 1:23:51.040 break the norms of the NBA to do it. I 1:23:51.080 --> 1:23:54.400 don't see them doing it because I believe ultimately the playoffs, 1:23:54.680 --> 1:23:58.000 Russell Westbrook will be a liability lat in games. James 1:23:58.040 --> 1:24:00.920 Harden normally takes one game off in playoff series or 1:24:00.920 --> 1:24:03.559 a half off in a in a key game and 1:24:03.640 --> 1:24:07.200 derails you. But as far as from an entertainment standpoint, 1:24:08.160 --> 1:24:12.960 absolutely absolutely, it's great. And they're gonna get killed rebounding wise, 1:24:12.960 --> 1:24:16.439 they better make all their shots. Um, but we'll see 1:24:16.439 --> 1:24:20.679 you down the line. But it's it's unorthodox, but it's fun. 1:24:21.240 --> 1:24:23.080 I would like to see them in a playoff series 1:24:23.120 --> 1:24:24.760 against Dallas. I think that would be a lot of 1:24:24.760 --> 1:24:27.080 fun because you got Luka don Chich and you've got 1:24:27.120 --> 1:24:30.519 porzingists that can shoot from the outside. And like you mentioned, 1:24:30.720 --> 1:24:33.080 the best thing is is Russell Westbrook is such a 1:24:33.160 --> 1:24:36.920 loose cannon that he can get forty on any given night. 1:24:37.280 --> 1:24:40.240 He'll go for forty and ten and ten, or he 1:24:40.280 --> 1:24:42.639 can go three or thirty from the field and James 1:24:42.680 --> 1:24:45.280 Harden won't touch the rock. That's the best part about 1:24:45.320 --> 1:24:48.080 watching Russell Westbrook play the game of basketball is that 1:24:48.120 --> 1:24:50.440 he can win it for you or he can absolutely 1:24:50.479 --> 1:24:52.720 just kill you. He can go vintage, he can go 1:24:52.760 --> 1:24:55.639 a vintage Kobe Bryant the two thousand four NBA Finals, 1:24:55.680 --> 1:24:58.360 just shoot you out of the series. Yeah, I mean 1:24:58.360 --> 1:25:02.120 that's the way he's. He's eventually will spiral out of 1:25:02.160 --> 1:25:09.240 control at some point and just undisciplined. And that's good 1:25:09.280 --> 1:25:13.679 for us because when he when he is unrestrained, and 1:25:13.760 --> 1:25:16.240 it makes for great monologues. And I look forward to 1:25:16.240 --> 1:25:19.200 doing those monologues. I've done him every year, and I 1:25:19.600 --> 1:25:22.000 can write a book on how to do a Russell 1:25:22.040 --> 1:25:26.000 Westbrook is out of control, careless with the basketball and 1:25:26.120 --> 1:25:28.080 hurts his team. But but again, Carlos, I like the 1:25:28.120 --> 1:25:31.320 way I like in theory of it, I like their execution. 1:25:31.439 --> 1:25:34.360 Probably will not, I will not work study this. You 1:25:34.360 --> 1:25:36.559 want to do some study, Yes, yes, let's do it, 1:25:36.640 --> 1:25:41.599 all right. A survey what percentage of Americans would turn 1:25:41.680 --> 1:25:47.360 down a free cruise because of the concerns over the coronavirus. 1:25:48.880 --> 1:25:52.120 I'm gonna say, Hi, I'll go like se right now, 1:25:52.479 --> 1:25:55.200 So you think seventy three of Americans would say I'm 1:25:55.240 --> 1:25:57.519 gonna give you a feel, I'll give you a free 1:25:57.520 --> 1:26:01.160 cruise to the Bahamas. And you're like, I'm good, Yeah, 1:26:01.560 --> 1:26:03.960 I don't need it. Well, you're actually right, in the 1:26:04.000 --> 1:26:06.679 ballpark where you need to be. According to the survey, 1:26:06.760 --> 1:26:12.120 two thirds two thirds of Americans would turn down a 1:26:12.240 --> 1:26:17.160 free cruise because they're freaked out by the coronavirus. We 1:26:17.240 --> 1:26:19.000 have a friend who's on a cruise right now. That's right, 1:26:19.120 --> 1:26:23.400 Rob Parker's on the Golden Girls cruise. Yeah, did you 1:26:23.439 --> 1:26:27.520 see the video he posted of they had a contest, 1:26:27.600 --> 1:26:31.000 the dance off contest on the Golden Girls cruise. They 1:26:31.040 --> 1:26:35.439 were it's the yea the Best Rose contest and robson 1:26:35.520 --> 1:26:39.240 a photo from this. It's wild, man, it is crazy. 1:26:39.439 --> 1:26:41.920 I don't know what's worst. The videos are the fact 1:26:41.920 --> 1:26:44.320 that he posted a picture with his six d dollar 1:26:44.400 --> 1:26:47.360 Gucci shoes on that he was happy that he got 1:26:47.439 --> 1:26:50.040 at a discounted rate, which were like a thousand dollars 1:26:50.160 --> 1:26:55.400 that said Gucci on them. Yeah. And I think it 1:26:55.439 --> 1:26:57.840 was justin in Cincinnati that pointed out that Rob is 1:26:57.840 --> 1:27:00.720 actually cheaper than I am. Like. He will go to 1:27:00.880 --> 1:27:03.280 Ross Dress for Less, which is I like Cross. I 1:27:03.280 --> 1:27:05.960 actually have shopped there before as well. But it's a 1:27:05.960 --> 1:27:08.040 great scavenger hunt when you go to Ross Dress for Less. 1:27:08.040 --> 1:27:09.880 But he will like brag about getting a shirt for 1:27:09.960 --> 1:27:13.639 one used to be seventy bucks or something. He will 1:27:13.920 --> 1:27:16.400 because our building is right next to a poil loco. 1:27:17.200 --> 1:27:19.880 He wears the chicken. Yeah, he will keep a cut 1:27:20.000 --> 1:27:23.280 from a poil loco, just to return the same day 1:27:23.360 --> 1:27:30.080 or the next day and ren yes, no, no, yes, Wow, 1:27:30.640 --> 1:27:33.439 that's a boss move man. He should write a book. 1:27:33.560 --> 1:27:37.439 That's great, man. That makes me seem like a very 1:27:37.560 --> 1:27:41.080 unfrugal person. I don't think I've ever done that. I 1:27:41.120 --> 1:27:46.960 don't recall every doing something as radunculous as that. That's great. Well, yeah, 1:27:47.000 --> 1:27:49.519 I've never been on a cruise. I know some people 1:27:49.520 --> 1:27:50.760 say you should do it. Would be great, you have 1:27:50.800 --> 1:27:52.320 a good time. My wife would like to do it. 1:27:52.360 --> 1:27:58.080 But I'm good. I got food on a cruise once. Congratulations, 1:27:58.120 --> 1:28:01.800 you want a cookie? No, I just cruises. You're just confined, 1:28:01.920 --> 1:28:04.639 so it sucks and you get sick. Anything happens, you're 1:28:04.720 --> 1:28:07.599 you're fucked. All right, Here we go. A new survey 1:28:07.640 --> 1:28:11.519 says blank percent of Americans are avoiding corona beers because 1:28:11.520 --> 1:28:15.800 of fears of the coronavirus. For fox sake. Um, you 1:28:15.880 --> 1:28:17.840 said two thirds before, so I'll say a third. I'll 1:28:17.840 --> 1:28:23.280 say like close again, but not quite right. The answer 1:28:23.360 --> 1:28:27.439 is thirty eight percent. Thirty According to a new study, 1:28:27.479 --> 1:28:30.759 thirty percent of Americans are not drinking as much Corona 1:28:30.760 --> 1:28:33.240 beer because they're freaked out by the they got the 1:28:33.280 --> 1:28:36.120 heebie gs of the coronavirus. Boy, So does that mean 1:28:36.120 --> 1:28:40.000 that thirty eight percent of people are just complete Neanderthal morons? 1:28:40.560 --> 1:28:42.160 Is that what that means? Yes? Well, I guess the 1:28:42.160 --> 1:28:44.800 other question then, is if you're not drinking Corona beer, 1:28:45.040 --> 1:28:48.479 what would your alternative be to that? For Mexican beer? Like, 1:28:48.479 --> 1:28:51.880 would you go to Cote? Well, that's the only other 1:28:51.960 --> 1:28:54.240 Mexican beer I really know, So I think you'd have 1:28:54.280 --> 1:28:58.280 to get to Cote. But what kind of primitive, unrefined 1:28:59.120 --> 1:29:02.599 people are living amongst us here? Like were they raised 1:29:02.600 --> 1:29:04.640 by wolves or something like that? Were they born in 1:29:04.680 --> 1:29:07.320 a barn? Gascon that they're Like, I think I can 1:29:07.400 --> 1:29:10.519 get the coronavirus from a Corona beer with the lime, 1:29:10.720 --> 1:29:16.559 you know? Alright? Another one, Americans are spending more for 1:29:17.040 --> 1:29:21.920 more for treatment on blank ailments than any other conditions, 1:29:21.920 --> 1:29:24.800 according to the research from the US Healthcare Data. So 1:29:24.800 --> 1:29:29.160 we're looking for problems that human beings have with their 1:29:29.200 --> 1:29:33.040 body that they spend the most money on per year. 1:29:34.080 --> 1:29:39.040 God my first thing. My first inclination would be mental 1:29:40.240 --> 1:29:48.560 to the mental, not mental like physical, like mental physical situation. Okay, um, 1:29:51.080 --> 1:29:58.519 right now like hands to to to to, Oh, your 1:29:58.560 --> 1:30:03.880 time is up and say hey, hands kind of but 1:30:05.280 --> 1:30:08.599 I'm not gonna give you credit for that. Americans are 1:30:08.600 --> 1:30:14.240 spending more on treatment for spinal issues and joint pain 1:30:14.840 --> 1:30:19.080 ailments than any other condition. According to the US Health data, 1:30:19.720 --> 1:30:23.680 it's neck and lower back pain is the main one. Uh. 1:30:23.960 --> 1:30:27.840 This the latest data they have is from and the 1:30:27.880 --> 1:30:31.960 amount of money spent on spinal issues and joint pain. 1:30:32.880 --> 1:30:36.559 Are you ready for this, guest, guy, painful, you're sitting 1:30:36.600 --> 1:30:44.320 down three hundred and eighty billion dollars three eight billion 1:30:44.320 --> 1:30:48.040 dollars now according to this study, they point out that 1:30:48.040 --> 1:30:53.679 that breaks down to almost ten thousand dollars for every man, woman, 1:30:53.720 --> 1:30:56.000 and child who is a citizen in the United States. 1:30:56.479 --> 1:31:00.280 It is roughly eighteen of the US grows to stick 1:31:00.320 --> 1:31:05.200 product all right for back pain and uh, and you know, 1:31:05.280 --> 1:31:08.120 spinal issues and all that and and joint pain. An't 1:31:08.120 --> 1:31:10.760 that crazy? It is? Now? I think do you think 1:31:10.800 --> 1:31:12.760 part of that's attributed to the fact that a lot 1:31:12.840 --> 1:31:16.679 of us have a sedentary jobs or sitting down a lot, 1:31:17.240 --> 1:31:20.160 or drivers that are sitting in traffic a lot, or 1:31:20.200 --> 1:31:24.720 commuting for far distances. Yeah, I'm sure that's part of it. 1:31:24.800 --> 1:31:27.439 And people don't move. You gotta keep your body moving 1:31:27.520 --> 1:31:29.439 right as long as you can. You gotta keep body 1:31:29.520 --> 1:31:31.800 in motion, stays in motion. That's what I learned as 1:31:31.800 --> 1:31:34.040 a kids. Plus, like when you're sitting so much, your 1:31:34.120 --> 1:31:36.880 your legs, your hamstrings, and your quads get so tight. 1:31:37.200 --> 1:31:38.840 It leads to your hip flex series and it leads 1:31:38.840 --> 1:31:41.080 to the back. And the stress for for all of 1:31:41.160 --> 1:31:43.960 us is like upper chest and upper back, so the neck. 1:31:44.800 --> 1:31:46.639 I don't know. I mean I think the same thing 1:31:46.680 --> 1:31:48.960 too with with the joints. When you talk about your 1:31:48.960 --> 1:31:53.200 hands and elbows, just over usage. See you get on 1:31:53.800 --> 1:31:56.200 then get on creatine. Then I think I need to 1:31:56.200 --> 1:31:58.439 get on creatine. That that will change my life in 1:31:58.479 --> 1:32:04.120 amazing ways. Maybe do you have scoliosis? Uh? Do I 1:32:04.120 --> 1:32:09.880 have scoliosis? No? I didn't have sculios. Do you I do? Yeah, scoliosis. 1:32:09.920 --> 1:32:12.479 I found that out five years ago actually because of 1:32:12.479 --> 1:32:16.280 working at Fox Sports Radio. I had back pain working 1:32:16.280 --> 1:32:17.880 on one of your shows and went to the doctor 1:32:17.920 --> 1:32:21.519 the very next day. Old let me get my and 1:32:21.560 --> 1:32:23.360 he he did an X ray and he says, oh, 1:32:23.439 --> 1:32:26.120 you've got scoliosis. I said, oh, what the fund? Should 1:32:26.200 --> 1:32:28.080 I have been diagnosed with this when I was a kid. 1:32:28.439 --> 1:32:31.320 He says, no, it's probably something from from playing your 1:32:31.360 --> 1:32:34.640 playing days or or driving too much. And yeah, it 1:32:34.680 --> 1:32:39.679 was all stem from working on your show. Put a coincidence. Yeah, 1:32:39.880 --> 1:32:42.599 are you done? Yeah, I'm done. I'm here for you. 1:32:42.760 --> 1:32:44.400 So what else can I do for you? Ben Malley? 1:32:44.960 --> 1:32:48.559 All right, here's another fun study doing study this real 1:32:48.640 --> 1:32:52.960 or bullshit? Who knew, Gascan that you are like a 1:32:53.040 --> 1:32:59.040 dog that sexual scent that man can smell when a 1:32:59.120 --> 1:33:04.559 woman is aroused? How about that? I did not study. 1:33:05.439 --> 1:33:09.200 I did not know that. I think it's bullshit. Well, 1:33:09.400 --> 1:33:14.639 Kent University though in the UK, they did the survey 1:33:14.720 --> 1:33:18.000 and they said that attraction is conveyed through a number 1:33:18.000 --> 1:33:21.320 of avenues and many have nothing to do with spoken language. Yeah, 1:33:21.360 --> 1:33:24.360 the pheromones, right, whether you're aware of it or not. 1:33:24.640 --> 1:33:27.960 Both men and women's body language often changes ever so 1:33:28.000 --> 1:33:32.120 slightly when we're around someone we find particularly attractive. And 1:33:32.280 --> 1:33:35.120 according to the study, anyone goes into detail here and 1:33:35.280 --> 1:33:38.879 it says that it's not just it's not just obvious, 1:33:38.920 --> 1:33:45.559 sometimes literally. According to study the Nose Nose. The research 1:33:45.640 --> 1:33:49.400 team has concluded that men can smell when a woman 1:33:50.320 --> 1:33:54.559 is turned on. About that, I must not have this ability. 1:33:55.080 --> 1:33:58.920 That must be lacking this ability. Can you go to 1:33:58.960 --> 1:34:01.200 a doc? But I can't turn them on? Clee, And uh, 1:34:01.240 --> 1:34:04.080 I don't know when they're turned on. So maybe I can, 1:34:04.160 --> 1:34:06.120 you know, give me a guide book on that that 1:34:06.200 --> 1:34:09.080 that you know. Of course you don't know even you know. No, 1:34:09.800 --> 1:34:13.920 that's interesting. I was. I was always on an impression 1:34:14.000 --> 1:34:18.160 that it was always the pheromones. So like our body 1:34:18.240 --> 1:34:24.040 hair would trigger women into the physical attraction too. But 1:34:24.160 --> 1:34:26.519 if you don't have any body hair, you can't got 1:34:26.560 --> 1:34:29.440 body hair I want to wear or another Now, I've 1:34:29.479 --> 1:34:32.200 known some people that who is that guy, Charlie Villeneuava. 1:34:32.560 --> 1:34:35.120 Oh yeah, he didn't have anybody here. And I have 1:34:35.439 --> 1:34:37.360 a guy used to know it was a clipper pr guy. 1:34:37.400 --> 1:34:40.200 Good guy. Uh did not he had that same illness. 1:34:40.240 --> 1:34:46.439 No body here, no no eyebrows, no nothing, nothing completely gone. Yeah, 1:34:46.800 --> 1:34:52.759 bad John him. Anyway, here's another random study. Uh, this 1:34:52.760 --> 1:34:57.400 this one says Instagram fitness posts by the ladies do 1:34:57.640 --> 1:35:03.080 more harm than good for women men's body images. Yeah, 1:35:03.560 --> 1:35:07.960 the Instagram is bad for the ladies because the Instagram 1:35:08.040 --> 1:35:11.880 posts that I see from females, like most of the time, 1:35:12.000 --> 1:35:14.519 they're either so lean that you think they're on some 1:35:14.600 --> 1:35:18.439 kind of performance enhancing drug, or there's so fake that 1:35:18.479 --> 1:35:22.040 you're curious as to what they have injected into them, 1:35:22.040 --> 1:35:26.800 like top and bottom ben Oh yeah, yes, don't you 1:35:26.840 --> 1:35:29.000 know that? Or don't you see that? Don't I know that? 1:35:29.080 --> 1:35:31.800 I don't know what's so. I don't think any women 1:35:31.840 --> 1:35:34.760 post photos without spandex on in a gym. I've not 1:35:34.840 --> 1:35:37.720 seen any of os on Instagram. I'm still waiting for 1:35:37.760 --> 1:35:41.720 the first women to post something that's not uh provocative. 1:35:41.880 --> 1:35:43.720 But I've been good for them. Why not? Hey, you 1:35:43.760 --> 1:35:46.160 know it's working. Clearly a bunch of this horn dogs 1:35:46.160 --> 1:35:48.479 are clicking on all that stuff, right, Yeah, but you 1:35:48.600 --> 1:35:51.160 just you look at the body and you just think 1:35:51.479 --> 1:35:56.320 they must have spent close to ten thou dollars on 1:35:56.320 --> 1:35:58.640 on some kind of surgery cosmdics. You know what I 1:35:58.680 --> 1:36:00.360 love is though, when you go around on and I 1:36:00.400 --> 1:36:02.000 see this, everyone want to go out. I don't go 1:36:02.200 --> 1:36:04.320 out of my house much, but you're like the tourist 1:36:04.400 --> 1:36:09.000 area like in l A and the Instagram model. You 1:36:09.040 --> 1:36:11.080 know that's a thing now where they have a people 1:36:11.160 --> 1:36:13.360 with them for lighting and the whole thing. It's like 1:36:13.840 --> 1:36:17.280 some of these things are professional photo shoots for because 1:36:17.280 --> 1:36:20.720 their Instagram influencers and they have half a million followers 1:36:20.800 --> 1:36:24.920 or whatever, you know, five thousand followers, which is filf 1:36:24.920 --> 1:36:28.120 a million. Uh, and then they I just want to 1:36:28.160 --> 1:36:30.840 do the math in my head, guestcount. It's pretty funny. 1:36:30.960 --> 1:36:32.439 It's like when I remember I used to live in 1:36:32.439 --> 1:36:37.559 Hollywood when reality TV became a big deal, and I 1:36:37.600 --> 1:36:42.840 was stopped on Hollywood Boulevard and they were shooting a scene. 1:36:42.880 --> 1:36:46.280 They were crossing the street filming a reality show, and 1:36:46.320 --> 1:36:49.920 the signal took a while, and I just, for some reason, 1:36:49.920 --> 1:36:54.599 I was stuck at the signal and they kept crossing 1:36:54.600 --> 1:36:58.600 the street until they got the right shot. And I 1:36:58.680 --> 1:37:00.439 was like, you know, that's not really yeah, you know, 1:37:00.479 --> 1:37:03.080 I mean you said one take, right. I mean they 1:37:03.160 --> 1:37:05.040 kept doing it until they got the right angle. And 1:37:05.080 --> 1:37:07.040 the people said that what they were supposed to say. 1:37:07.080 --> 1:37:10.160 And it's one of those dopey dating shows. It might 1:37:10.200 --> 1:37:12.600 have been The Bachelor, the original how long has the 1:37:12.600 --> 1:37:16.719 Bachelor been on? There forever? It was a Bachelor Temptation Island. 1:37:18.000 --> 1:37:21.920 It wasn't Temptation Island. Wasn't that fair enough? There was 1:37:21.960 --> 1:37:25.639 that blind? Was it Blind Date? Was that a reality show? 1:37:26.040 --> 1:37:30.120 Remember that one? Yeah? That was all right. According to 1:37:30.160 --> 1:37:33.720 a new survey, what how many in thirty people have 1:37:33.920 --> 1:37:39.120 pooped in the shower? And thirty people, uh, let's have 1:37:39.160 --> 1:37:41.519 admitted to pooping in the show. Oh, I'm gonna say 1:37:41.520 --> 1:37:44.160 this is low. I'll say like, I'll say four out 1:37:44.160 --> 1:37:48.400 of thirty only one one out of thirty people said 1:37:48.439 --> 1:37:50.439 they pooped in the shower. Have you guessed, you know, 1:37:50.680 --> 1:37:54.599 pooped in the shower? I have not, thankfully God, Hannah, God, yes, 1:37:56.080 --> 1:37:59.040 have you in the show? No? I did. Number one 1:37:59.080 --> 1:38:01.320 I have no problem with. But the number two it 1:38:01.520 --> 1:38:07.400 seems Yeah, it's a problematic situation. Yeah, logistically I don't 1:38:07.400 --> 1:38:08.920 know how because if you go at number two, you're 1:38:08.920 --> 1:38:10.240 getting how do you get rid of it? You're gonna 1:38:10.280 --> 1:38:11.720 have to use your hand to pick it up. I 1:38:11.720 --> 1:38:13.679 mean that's a big to do. Or it's even worse 1:38:13.800 --> 1:38:16.439 as if you take a shower, you dry yourself off 1:38:16.479 --> 1:38:20.240 and then you have to take a number two. Yeah, 1:38:20.840 --> 1:38:24.719 that is that's bad timing, timing on that's not good 1:38:24.880 --> 1:38:28.920 but how about one out of thirty people. That means 1:38:28.960 --> 1:38:34.240 out of a hundred, that's three little over three out 1:38:34.240 --> 1:38:37.160 of a hundred people ship in the shower. Like we 1:38:37.200 --> 1:38:41.799 went from death talk radio to shipping on yourself radio. 1:38:42.560 --> 1:38:45.479 I'd rather do ship radio and death radio. All you 1:38:45.560 --> 1:38:47.200 do it money through Friday. So I think you got 1:38:47.200 --> 1:38:52.120 that base cleared. You think you're funny, I thought, pretty 1:38:52.200 --> 1:38:54.280 damn funny. Yeah, I think it just walked. Don't don't 1:38:54.280 --> 1:38:57.519 pull a muscle patting yourself on the back. Pull a 1:38:57.600 --> 1:39:01.240 muscle patting yourself. Man. Listen, all right, here's a fun study. 1:39:01.280 --> 1:39:03.840 This is you know, we talked about the world we 1:39:03.880 --> 1:39:05.840 live in today as opposed to the world that we 1:39:05.920 --> 1:39:08.719 grew up in, depending if you're at a certain age. Well, 1:39:09.000 --> 1:39:12.880 globally though, does it apply? There was a global study 1:39:12.920 --> 1:39:16.800 done what percentage of people think it is justified for 1:39:16.920 --> 1:39:22.120 a husband to beat his wife? Out of out of 1:39:22.160 --> 1:39:25.160 ten people, how many of the people, according to this 1:39:25.200 --> 1:39:27.960 global research think it's okay for a man to slap 1:39:28.000 --> 1:39:32.160 around his wife in the world. Guess I'm not in America. Obviously, America, 1:39:32.160 --> 1:39:35.360 I would think most people think that's not right. But globally, 1:39:35.400 --> 1:39:39.600 because you brought it up out of ten, I would say, no, 1:39:39.760 --> 1:39:42.400 it's not that high, but I still think it's ridiculously height. 1:39:43.000 --> 1:39:47.200 It's three out of ten, So thirty of people think 1:39:47.280 --> 1:39:51.040 it is allowed for a husband to slap around the wife. There. 1:39:51.120 --> 1:39:54.680 It's a new study done by a operation out of Germany, 1:39:54.800 --> 1:39:59.000 and they conducted data from seventy five countries covered over 1:40:00.080 --> 1:40:05.760 world's population, and three out of tends like slapper around. Yeah, 1:40:05.760 --> 1:40:09.800 it's wild man. Yeah, if that ever happened to me, 1:40:09.880 --> 1:40:13.040 I know, I'd been waking up with something from Good Fellas, right, 1:40:13.080 --> 1:40:15.160 like my better half of a gun pointed right at 1:40:15.160 --> 1:40:17.839 my fucking head. But yeah, anything like in some parts 1:40:17.880 --> 1:40:20.920 like that that whole sharial law thing, you know. I 1:40:20.920 --> 1:40:23.200 mean that I guess is you know it's wild, but 1:40:23.560 --> 1:40:26.679 it's crazy that there's that many. A new survey reveals 1:40:27.920 --> 1:40:33.400 that blank percentage of people goof up. I'm not goof up, 1:40:33.439 --> 1:40:38.559 that's the wrong word. They they intentionally mislead on their resume. 1:40:38.640 --> 1:40:43.160 They lie on their resume, uh, and they get caught. 1:40:43.160 --> 1:40:46.479 Seven percent of people lie on the resume and get caught. 1:40:46.640 --> 1:40:48.960 Only seven percent of the people to do this. Have 1:40:48.960 --> 1:40:53.000 have you ever lied on your resume? Unfortunately not. No. 1:40:53.360 --> 1:40:55.320 I feel like if I if I needed to know, 1:40:55.840 --> 1:40:58.120 there's no reason to you, like, the line of work 1:40:58.120 --> 1:41:01.120 that we're in, you can get added right away, and 1:41:01.160 --> 1:41:04.160 there's nothing that we do. There's nothing that we do 1:41:04.280 --> 1:41:07.639 that really put you want to put on a resume anyway, 1:41:07.640 --> 1:41:11.840 because you can't justify your performance for what we do 1:41:11.920 --> 1:41:15.920 on a resume anyway, right Like you can't talk about number. Yeah, 1:41:15.920 --> 1:41:19.719 it's it doesn't I mean, no, I haven't bollished my resume, 1:41:19.800 --> 1:41:21.519 but I don't think anyone looks at my resume. I 1:41:21.560 --> 1:41:24.280 haven't needed a resume in years anyway, but I needed 1:41:24.280 --> 1:41:27.240 a resume. I had no resume. Now that I have 1:41:27.360 --> 1:41:30.439 a resume, nobody wants my resume. It's all word of mouth. 1:41:30.479 --> 1:41:32.479 It's all these jobs are all passed out by who 1:41:32.520 --> 1:41:35.880 you know, not what you know. Anyway. Last one on 1:41:36.000 --> 1:41:40.559 the study this a new survey found that one in 1:41:40.720 --> 1:41:45.680 four Americans admit they have trouble remembering this. What do 1:41:45.720 --> 1:41:51.240 you think? One in four Americans have trouble remembering, Um, 1:41:51.600 --> 1:41:56.639 there their home telephone number? Dude? Do all most people 1:41:56.640 --> 1:41:58.880 don't even have a home telephone number anymore. So that's dumb. 1:41:59.200 --> 1:42:01.919 It's a bad job by you. One in four Americans 1:42:01.920 --> 1:42:05.240 admit they have trouble remembering their a T M pin. 1:42:06.040 --> 1:42:10.920 Oh they're automatic teller pin. They cannot remember. I'm in 1:42:10.960 --> 1:42:12.400 that group by the one. I think I know what 1:42:12.479 --> 1:42:13.920 it is, but I don't know if I haven't used 1:42:13.920 --> 1:42:16.640 it long a long while. And he don't stick to 1:42:16.680 --> 1:42:18.479 sports stories guests. The only way have any quick ones. 1:42:18.520 --> 1:42:21.800 We can sneak in here. Yeah, camp, this is now 1:42:21.840 --> 1:42:24.240 that the sixth hour. We're into the sixth hour of 1:42:24.280 --> 1:42:28.280 the fifth hour. Yeah, it's a bad job by you. Yeah. Whatever. 1:42:28.520 --> 1:42:31.200 How about this one? A flight was diverted after a 1:42:31.680 --> 1:42:35.280 passenger attempted to open up an exit door in the 1:42:35.320 --> 1:42:38.639 middle of a flight. Did you hear about this? What's 1:42:38.640 --> 1:42:41.200 wrong with that? Uh? No, this is a this is 1:42:41.200 --> 1:42:43.240 a shout out to our buddy. I'm a pilot an 1:42:43.240 --> 1:42:47.160 American Airlines. I'm a pilot guy. Why do you get 1:42:47.200 --> 1:42:49.599 a room with this guy? I think he's a great guy. 1:42:50.080 --> 1:42:56.040 He's got a good personality. He's always uh, he's always positive. Anyways, 1:42:56.040 --> 1:42:58.160 you got you're like weed man, hippie, you got your 1:42:58.200 --> 1:43:02.400 hand out man. No way, you're begging. Act like you've 1:43:02.400 --> 1:43:05.160 been in the end zone. Before I have come. Have 1:43:05.200 --> 1:43:07.879 you seen me at your Christmas parties? Anyways? An American 1:43:07.880 --> 1:43:15.080 airline an American Airlines flight bound for Dallas from Chicago 1:43:15.200 --> 1:43:18.000 was forced to make an emergency landing because a passenger 1:43:18.520 --> 1:43:21.080 actually try to open up an emergency door. Bet here's 1:43:21.080 --> 1:43:23.640 the kicker on this though, is all the latches he 1:43:23.680 --> 1:43:26.720 actually got up. The only reason the door did not 1:43:26.880 --> 1:43:30.120 open was because the pressure from the cabin space did 1:43:30.160 --> 1:43:34.080 not allow it to open up. That's reassuring. Yes, forty 1:43:34.160 --> 1:43:37.200 five minutes into a flight, they had to obviously divert 1:43:37.280 --> 1:43:41.200 the flight and touchdown in St. Louis, Missouri because someone 1:43:41.240 --> 1:43:45.559 obviously tried opening up a flight in midflight of the 1:43:45.680 --> 1:43:49.280 cabin doors. So. I don't know what you would do 1:43:49.439 --> 1:43:52.960 in something like this, but I die because the door 1:43:53.000 --> 1:43:56.200 opens up, You're dead. I'm talking about someone made the 1:43:56.240 --> 1:43:59.000 attempt to open up a cab. Yeah, I would go 1:43:59.080 --> 1:44:02.400 into survival mode and I would take the guy out 1:44:02.840 --> 1:44:05.559 and beat his ass is what I would do. I 1:44:05.600 --> 1:44:07.880 can't see you doing. Did anyone do that? Though? Yeah? 1:44:07.920 --> 1:44:10.240 I would think you're gonna who cares? You're gonna die 1:44:10.280 --> 1:44:11.880 if the guy opens the doors. You might as well 1:44:11.960 --> 1:44:15.559 go vigilante and kick the guy's ass here. Speaking of which, 1:44:15.720 --> 1:44:18.439 this is a great story. This is uh. I know, 1:44:18.760 --> 1:44:21.240 obviously determine whether it's a great story. You will not 1:44:21.280 --> 1:44:23.800 determine this is good for payback? Then? How about that 1:44:24.360 --> 1:44:27.200 a woman? This is in in England, a woman was 1:44:27.280 --> 1:44:31.360 revealed to having swapped drinks with a stranger she suspected 1:44:31.960 --> 1:44:35.760 of trying to spike her drink, before later finding out 1:44:35.920 --> 1:44:38.320 that he was passed out in a puddle. So this 1:44:38.360 --> 1:44:41.920 woman was in a club and she looked away. She 1:44:42.080 --> 1:44:45.360 claimed that drinks between her and a stranger were on 1:44:45.400 --> 1:44:48.400 a on a tabletop and the guy had put something 1:44:48.400 --> 1:44:52.040 in her drink. Later she she shared us on social media. 1:44:52.040 --> 1:44:54.640 But she swapped the drink with the guy when he 1:44:54.720 --> 1:44:57.360 wasn't noticing. And it turned out that the guy who 1:44:57.400 --> 1:45:00.040 was trying to roofy her drank his own poise in 1:45:00.120 --> 1:45:02.880 and landed up in a puddle outside of a club. 1:45:03.720 --> 1:45:06.240 How good is that? That is pretty good? That's a 1:45:06.360 --> 1:45:08.360 that's a solid move by that lady. It's a good 1:45:08.439 --> 1:45:10.960 job by her. Yeah, that's that's good man, especially not 1:45:11.040 --> 1:45:14.040 being too in tune with the elements. I know when 1:45:14.040 --> 1:45:15.960 I go out with gascon I gotta make sure to 1:45:16.040 --> 1:45:18.559 switch the drinks because that guy, let me tell you something, 1:45:18.560 --> 1:45:20.760 he puts crap in drinks. Man, No, no, I try 1:45:20.800 --> 1:45:23.719 to put Rufi's in there. You're an idiot. Your nickname 1:45:23.800 --> 1:45:26.200 is Cosby. That's what you want. Listen, I I do, 1:45:26.360 --> 1:45:28.240 I do need to make a request. Since we're going 1:45:28.320 --> 1:45:32.080 to a bougie event over the weekend. Um my alcohol 1:45:32.200 --> 1:45:36.480 needs to have either one rock or it's neat. Uh. 1:45:36.560 --> 1:45:38.800 I guess we'll buy a round of drinks. You will 1:45:38.880 --> 1:45:42.880 order the most expensive whiskey on the menu. Yes, maybe 1:45:44.080 --> 1:45:45.760 that's good. So I don't want to say what we're 1:45:45.760 --> 1:45:47.519 going to because I might not work out. But then 1:45:47.560 --> 1:45:51.120 next week we'll have recap coverage all have said social event. 1:45:51.200 --> 1:45:52.800 If we do end up at Tenny. Now, keep in 1:45:52.840 --> 1:45:54.720 mind you were not invited to this. I just want 1:45:54.720 --> 1:45:59.160 to point out I I was invited, but to a 1:45:59.280 --> 1:46:03.960 Hollywood of but you were not invited. But but out 1:46:03.960 --> 1:46:07.320 of feeling pity for you, I decided that you are 1:46:07.400 --> 1:46:10.000 such a dope that you need to go to this thing, 1:46:10.640 --> 1:46:14.120 and so I I passed the invitation onto you. But 1:46:14.160 --> 1:46:18.520 you were not invited. Every loss ship needs a lighthouse, 1:46:18.880 --> 1:46:21.320 and Ben Mallory. I I am that lighthouse for you, 1:46:21.520 --> 1:46:23.840 so I will be. But I am your beacon. I 1:46:23.840 --> 1:46:25.799 am your guiding light here, and I do you understand 1:46:25.840 --> 1:46:28.200 that I am your inspiration. I'm the one that gets 1:46:28.200 --> 1:46:30.040 invited to the A list parties. I just never go 1:46:30.120 --> 1:46:32.240 to these things. Like my wife likes to go out, 1:46:32.240 --> 1:46:34.320 so every once in a while, throw a bone. You know, 1:46:34.360 --> 1:46:37.439 we get to go out, throw your wife a bone. Well, no, 1:46:37.600 --> 1:46:39.160 because I get invited to a lot of these things 1:46:39.160 --> 1:46:40.840 that I never go to him because I don't really 1:46:40.880 --> 1:46:43.639 like those. You know that the parties are not my scene. 1:46:43.760 --> 1:46:46.240 It's probably once in a while I'll go. That's probably 1:46:46.280 --> 1:46:49.240 the why you're stuck on the overnight, not the daytime stuff. See, 1:46:49.240 --> 1:46:50.799 I don't look at it as it stuck in the overnight. 1:46:50.840 --> 1:46:54.320 I got more affiliates, I'm cleared everywhere. I love the overnight. 1:46:54.439 --> 1:46:57.479 It's great. Nobody bothers me my own thing. You got 1:46:57.479 --> 1:47:00.240 carte blanche there in the overnight. Al right, guess god, 1:47:00.680 --> 1:47:04.080 thank you very much, and enjoy the weekend. The rest 1:47:04.120 --> 1:47:07.720 of I forgot. Oh my god, I mean, can we 1:47:07.760 --> 1:47:10.120 put the baby? But we can't. We can't remember we 1:47:10.160 --> 1:47:14.360 have the wager. What was what wager? Okay, I will 1:47:14.400 --> 1:47:19.800 refresh the audiences memory or rehash yours anyway, is that? Um, 1:47:19.840 --> 1:47:23.280 the l A rams have a competition going on here 1:47:23.280 --> 1:47:26.800 in the next couple of weeks, I find Oh that's right, yeah, yeah, 1:47:26.840 --> 1:47:28.840 well I don't we can't really get into this, but 1:47:29.080 --> 1:47:32.240 I have an eye. I would like gascon to try 1:47:32.280 --> 1:47:34.559 out to be an l A ram MAO cheerleader. All right, 1:47:34.600 --> 1:47:38.160 So I will do it under two terms to two conditions. 1:47:38.160 --> 1:47:41.479 Ben always with conditions, there's always an ultimatum with guests. 1:47:41.920 --> 1:47:44.439 So if we can get my my Twitter following up 1:47:44.479 --> 1:47:48.120 to like, let's say, like four thousand, and my Instagram 1:47:48.160 --> 1:47:50.479 handle up to like let's say two thousand, I will 1:47:50.520 --> 1:47:54.720 do it. So you're basically panhandling for followers. So how many? 1:47:54.960 --> 1:47:56.960 How many? What do you need? Even the numbers on 1:47:57.000 --> 1:48:00.320 that again? Four thousand on Twitter, all right? And two 1:48:00.360 --> 1:48:04.680 thousand on Instagram? Okay, how many do you have on 1:48:04.720 --> 1:48:09.280 Instagram right now? Instagram? I have like four Oh, you're 1:48:09.320 --> 1:48:11.880 not gonna get I've been begging. I just got to 1:48:11.920 --> 1:48:15.120 a thousand, and I've been begging every night. There's no chance. 1:48:15.200 --> 1:48:20.000 Well what about Twitter? Then? Twitter? I have like, yeah, 1:48:20.000 --> 1:48:23.040 Twitter is doable because I, Justin in Cincinnati would just 1:48:23.040 --> 1:48:25.120 just to see you as a male cheerleader, would like 1:48:25.200 --> 1:48:27.920 buy some bots to follow. I wouldn't buy it. I 1:48:28.040 --> 1:48:30.519 can't do that gonna be authentic. But I'll do it 1:48:30.640 --> 1:48:34.240 even if it's Justin or anyone else that that. No, 1:48:34.320 --> 1:48:36.479 I don't want bots. But now they're gonna be bots. 1:48:36.520 --> 1:48:38.639 It's gonna be like a bunch of people in India 1:48:38.720 --> 1:48:41.080 or whatever that they're gonna be following you the fake account. 1:48:41.240 --> 1:48:43.920 So we'll do it. So if you want, if you'd 1:48:43.920 --> 1:48:45.720 like to see and I'll go there and I will 1:48:45.800 --> 1:48:48.800 document Gascon trying out to be a male cheerleader for 1:48:48.840 --> 1:48:50.880 the l A RAMS and I think it'd be a 1:48:50.880 --> 1:48:52.760 great bit.
