Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old republic a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of
Speaker 1: hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller starts right now that it does, and
Speaker 1: we are in the air everywhere the vast power of
Speaker 1: the I Heart podcast network a global reach. We are
Speaker 1: not held down by the radio signal on this dopey
Speaker 1: little podcast that we do every week. Because four hours
Speaker 1: on the overnight, five days a week not enough, we
Speaker 1: need to harass you and stake your time away on
Speaker 1: the weekend. So here it is the Fifth Hour with
Speaker 1: Ben Mallard and uh, because apparently I can't do this
Speaker 1: by myself. The dead weight of the fifth are my guy,
Speaker 1: David Gascon. If you want to have somebody valet park
Speaker 1: for you, hired David Gascon for your party. People will
Speaker 1: love the fund that he provides. Well, you hit the
Speaker 1: nail right on the head, because no, you cannot do
Speaker 1: this without me. So it wouldn't sound as good. Uh,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't sound as bad. Let me tell you something
Speaker 1: right now, gas, Okay, I did. When I was doing
Speaker 1: stuff at w e I, there were nights I was
Speaker 1: on a nighttime show in a blizzard. The only people
Speaker 1: listening were the people driving around the Boston area in
Speaker 1: snow plow trucks. That was it, period, hard stop. It
Speaker 1: was pretty much me reading out of a phone book
Speaker 1: for for like four hours or whatever. That was back
Speaker 1: in the day, a couple of years ago. So and
Speaker 1: that was amazing. That sounds as a Marconi winning radio station.
Speaker 1: By the way, how about that. Yeah, it's it's probably
Speaker 1: equivalent of the crackheads that listened to you money through Fridays.
Speaker 1: So well, again, you're very jealous of the people follow
Speaker 1: me around there. They're called the Mallar Militia. They hate you.
Speaker 1: They think of you as the stuff behind the toilet.
Speaker 1: That's they tell me all the time. That's not true.
Speaker 1: Jay Scoop actually personally email me just a couple of
Speaker 1: days ago and invited me to uh to visit him,
Speaker 1: to visit the better halves up in the Pacific Northwest,
Speaker 1: and I I will gladly accept that invitation. Here in
Speaker 1: the near future. Well, Jay Scoop is very nice, but
Speaker 1: he behind your back trash is you. I want you
Speaker 1: to know that. He has told me many times what
Speaker 1: a scumbag you are, and so it's a I don't
Speaker 1: know what he's doing with that. He probably has ulterior motives.
Speaker 1: That's not true. Terry Scoop is a He's a senior
Speaker 1: general in the Mallar militias. So this guy has some juice,
Speaker 1: he's got some weights. So Terry overseas has wanted to
Speaker 1: come on and talk to us on the podcast. Um,
Speaker 1: I will go, So why don't you do that? I mean,
Speaker 1: we we talked about this. I had brought this up
Speaker 1: right away the first podcast. I said, hey, we can
Speaker 1: sit down and end to a brief BS segment with
Speaker 1: Chris and Houston for example. Now it's not worth it
Speaker 1: like Terry would be worth it. I'm a pilot would
Speaker 1: be worth it. I know he's proud. If you want
Speaker 1: you want to put the pilot on, why not? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Because you want to get those buddy passes is what
Speaker 1: you want to get. I know what you're up to, guests, Dan,
Speaker 1: I'm all, I know exactly what you're you're up to.
Speaker 1: You're so disingenuous here. I'm not going to care about
Speaker 1: the pilot at all. You're just like, hey, this guy
Speaker 1: can help me. You are such an l A weasel
Speaker 1: is what you are? You deem it necessary if someone
Speaker 1: can help you. How dare you? You know? Chris and
Speaker 1: Houston cannot help me at all? Filexis the drag queen
Speaker 1: in Rochester or Buffalo now, cannot help me. Mark the
Speaker 1: full name guy is a psychopath. Cannot help me. But
Speaker 1: you know what, I still put him on. How about that? Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: because you need breaks during your four hour show. That's
Speaker 1: not a break. No, it's not a break. It's stressful
Speaker 1: call in radio show. It is stressful. Is that what
Speaker 1: you said? Stressful? It is? It is he's got Let
Speaker 1: me tell you. I took a call from Doc Mike
Speaker 1: the other day, and Doc Mike is like Archie Bunker,
Speaker 1: which I guess is an outdated reference now. But Doc
Speaker 1: uses the same language he used which society allowed when
Speaker 1: he was, you know, twenty years old or whatever. But
Speaker 1: docs can't believe Doc's getting up there. He started he's
Speaker 1: calling my show. He was in his fifties. Now he's
Speaker 1: in his seventies. Holy crap. Uh, well, no, he Doc
Speaker 1: what he came back from Ecuador. That's where he goes.
Speaker 1: He goes to Ecuador. But he's back in Chicago now,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, he's talking about the coronavirus. And
Speaker 1: so Doc does a little six minute monologue about how
Speaker 1: you need to drink your own piss uh to to
Speaker 1: beat the coronavirus, and in the middle of that, then
Speaker 1: talks about the origins of the coronavirus and uses a
Speaker 1: patently racist term about our brothers and sisters of the
Speaker 1: Asian community. And I said, Doc, what are you doing.
Speaker 1: You can't say that on the radio. Why would you say? Well,
Speaker 1: when I grew up that I'd rather let's into that.
Speaker 1: Then you have Chris and Houston be a jackass and
Speaker 1: start talking about guys, wives and girlfriends. Yeah, Chris, like
Speaker 1: accusing you on the live air this week of being
Speaker 1: into some shenanis. In fact, I was gonna save that
Speaker 1: for the grab bag because there I'm getting questions now
Speaker 1: if you get that asshole on every one of our
Speaker 1: shows on Fox Sports ready to asking other hosts about
Speaker 1: Brian Family's mom, Like, who gives a shit about Brian
Speaker 1: Family's mom? But this idiot not in Houston wants to
Speaker 1: worry about other people's part of the problem. And I
Speaker 1: love Brian, But Brian, he offered up the fact that
Speaker 1: his mom was in like Playboy or something. But who
Speaker 1: cares these guys? Apparently only one guy cares. It's the
Speaker 1: guy that's probably not getting laid period. That's Chris and Houston.
Speaker 1: Well what about Justin and Cincinnati. Justin I think he
Speaker 1: went on eBay and bought the Playboy or said he
Speaker 1: was gonna buy the Playboy. Yeah, I wonder if it's
Speaker 1: in mid condition, Like, do you those are obviously collectible items,
Speaker 1: So do you think it's in those paper sleeves that
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know, Yes, I like those could
Speaker 1: be like the old school, you know, like when we
Speaker 1: were younger at the Becketts, those baseball cards that would
Speaker 1: have the values and those and those things were framed
Speaker 1: all the time, and it was all bullshit. It was
Speaker 1: all a scam. I watched that documentary on baseball cards
Speaker 1: that ruined my entire childhood. I was wasting my time
Speaker 1: whittling away with these stupid baseball cards. Meanwhile, the greedy
Speaker 1: card sharks, the people that were behind the card companies,
Speaker 1: were printing up endless amounts of cards because it was Chiching, Chaching, Chiching.
Speaker 1: All the dumb twelve year olds would run out and
Speaker 1: buy the cards. And yeah, but I got a bunch
Speaker 1: of questions actually Colin in Denver, and I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: most of these two the grab bag says, and this
Speaker 1: is just an example. What's the true nature of Gascon
Speaker 1: and Ben's wife's relationship? That's from and this is a
Speaker 1: direct result of of christ and Houston. Well, part of
Speaker 1: it's because we're in the same age bracket. Uh. The
Speaker 1: other part is we're actually the ones that go to
Speaker 1: the gym, not you. Um. The other part, what do
Speaker 1: you talk I go to the gym more of my wife.
Speaker 1: We're talking about we're extroverts. You're an introvert. There's all
Speaker 1: these dynamics that come into place. The other one is
Speaker 1: this as we are both the crutches and the anchors
Speaker 1: for Ben Mallory. Because Ben Mallory, when you eat somebody,
Speaker 1: you're there calling your wife or you're calling me. So
Speaker 1: that's not true. That is true, not true at all.
Speaker 1: That is factually true. Listen, I am in my zen
Speaker 1: right now because everyone and the mother is going batshit
Speaker 1: crazy over this coronavirus, and they're telling people to not
Speaker 1: go out. Well, that's the life I've lived. This is
Speaker 1: my life. Finally the world is coming to me. And
Speaker 1: it's okay to be a shrinking violet. It's not bad
Speaker 1: to be a potted plant. Just don't leave your house.
Speaker 1: That's I mean, this is wonderful, this is great. See.
Speaker 1: And that's why I've always said that radio people I've
Speaker 1: been in the radio business entire life, are introverts. TV
Speaker 1: people are extroverts. So you're really a TV person pretending
Speaker 1: to be a radio person. That's why it's so awkward.
Speaker 1: I'm a hybrid, you know. Speaking of that, I'm glad
Speaker 1: you brought that up, because I actually had someone, uh
Speaker 1: send me a note and a screenshot of some don't
Speaker 1: do that dog? Do that? You dirty dog? That's made it?
Speaker 1: Sent that your dirty dog? What do you mean it's
Speaker 1: you that. I know what you're I know what you're
Speaker 1: about to say. No, that's I'm aware of what you're
Speaker 1: about to say. No, you're not. Yes, I know you're
Speaker 1: not hand the guy. I will I will bet you tacos.
Speaker 1: I'll bet you a drink on Saturday. How about that.
Speaker 1: I'll bet your drinks. Yeah, well, I don't even know
Speaker 1: if you're gonna be allowed to go on saturdays of
Speaker 1: your horse and you still haven't paid up the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl bet where I picked Kansas City to win. We can.
Speaker 1: By the way, was it a ninth horse that died
Speaker 1: at Santa Anita last week? Damn? I missed it. Another horse.
Speaker 1: I gotta get sin and maybe I'll go tomorrow Santa Anita.
Speaker 1: I don't know this weekend, I might have to go
Speaker 1: out to send any Do you think there'll be anybody
Speaker 1: out there? What do you think anybody will be there? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I believe it. The horse horse people understand that it
Speaker 1: is a part of the sport. Horses are gonna die.
Speaker 1: Uh maybe not as much as they do it they
Speaker 1: need to. But but it's the the animal rights whackles.
Speaker 1: The people don't understand horse racing are freaking out. The
Speaker 1: people at the track are like, they're not freaking out there.
Speaker 1: Horse racing people that's what they do. They live that life.
Speaker 1: They love the smell of horse shit in the morning.
Speaker 1: They can't get enough of it. Yeah, but I'm talking
Speaker 1: about just people like the patrons, like people showing up
Speaker 1: to watch. Most people don't care listen that it's all
Speaker 1: bullshit in the meeting. Most people don't give a crap.
Speaker 1: They're out there and they want to have a good time,
Speaker 1: watch the races. Bet a couple of bucks, have a
Speaker 1: beer and a hot dog and go home. But they're
Speaker 1: not worried about all that other ba humbug crap. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but we got California on a on a on the
Speaker 1: statewide California is fucked up? What do you want from California?
Speaker 1: It's it's a messed up places. The state of emergency
Speaker 1: here according to uh to our great governor, Oh, because
Speaker 1: of the coronavirus. Coronavirus. So yeah, get that. Get that.
Speaker 1: Federal money is what that's code for. Anyways, what's on
Speaker 1: the what's on the agenda today? With the All right,
Speaker 1: so we have a voter anxiety, but not what you
Speaker 1: think you forgot something we have that. We have a
Speaker 1: dark cloud grab bag and study this and possibly if
Speaker 1: we have time, don't stick to sports stories of the week.
Speaker 1: Tremendously excited, but we begin with voter anxiety. And now
Speaker 1: we had the election. It was Super Tuesday for those
Speaker 1: of us to live in Super Tuesday states, I got
Speaker 1: out and voted, made sure to promote myself, pat myself
Speaker 1: on the back, I pulled the J. J. Watt, made
Speaker 1: sure to take a photo of me with my little
Speaker 1: sticker that I got for voting. They're very exciting. Took
Speaker 1: a photo of the outside. I can't take a photo
Speaker 1: of the inside of the voting room, but I took
Speaker 1: a photo of the outside and some signs and whatnot.
Speaker 1: And the general consensus is, boy, I would never live
Speaker 1: in that from the people in the mallary militia, like
Speaker 1: what are you doing? But I did vote. I voted
Speaker 1: as I always do my voter or guide book. I
Speaker 1: learned this when I was a kid. Uh, anything that
Speaker 1: involves a taxation an increase of funds in air quotes,
Speaker 1: which is a weasel term, I immediately vote no. I
Speaker 1: don't care if it's for kids, I don't care if
Speaker 1: it's for sick people, I vote no. There's enough money
Speaker 1: in the tax realm, just move it around, dummies. And
Speaker 1: the politicians can't seem to figure this out. And the
Speaker 1: voters are a bunch of idiot, especially in the state
Speaker 1: I live in, and they continue. I know my votes
Speaker 1: wasted because all these other idiots vote yes on everything.
Speaker 1: I'm still upset about the gas tax from last year.
Speaker 1: I've not allowed that to go. I'm still bitter every
Speaker 1: time I buy gas, and I think every asshole, every
Speaker 1: Mama Luke Schmendrick around me is responsible for me paying
Speaker 1: an extra twenty cents a gallon because their ship heads.
Speaker 1: I had a buddy of I have a buddy of
Speaker 1: mine sent me a snapshot of of him filling up
Speaker 1: his gas tank in Oklahoma City. Uh gas at that
Speaker 1: time a few days ago or a few weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, it was two dollars. Oh yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: a it's ridiculous, it's it's but it's total gouging. And
Speaker 1: they put all there's a special brew or special blend,
Speaker 1: they say, in the gas in California because the the
Speaker 1: again the environmental wackos that you know, you have to
Speaker 1: have a different thing and all that, and maybe that's true,
Speaker 1: but it shouldn't cost that much. I believe they are
Speaker 1: taking liberties, much like the insurance industry, you know, and
Speaker 1: they know we'll charge you thirty five dollars for an
Speaker 1: aspirin and when you go to the hospital, you know,
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. But don't worry, because we need
Speaker 1: to tax everybody here in California because after all, we
Speaker 1: are the fifth largest economy in the entire world. So
Speaker 1: therefore we have to tax you more on top of
Speaker 1: that tax, and on top of that tax. So now
Speaker 1: you can help me out on this gas. What percentage
Speaker 1: of people have to be shipping in the streets before
Speaker 1: you become a third world country? Like, because I know
Speaker 1: in where I live it's a regular occurrence when I'm
Speaker 1: driving into work, I see, look, there's a pile of
Speaker 1: feces over there. It's a it's out of control. Like,
Speaker 1: how many people have to at the same time ship
Speaker 1: in the street before it becomes a world Well, no,
Speaker 1: don't worry about that because now in San Francisco, there's
Speaker 1: also a new uh, there's a new rule that's in
Speaker 1: place because the Attorney General there that if you if
Speaker 1: you commit robbery and it's with an item or anything
Speaker 1: worth less than a thousand dollars, you get issued a
Speaker 1: mere citation. Now that's good. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: saw us a couple of days ago, but it won't
Speaker 1: viral video in San Francisco were three women went into
Speaker 1: a beauty store and started putting trash bags worth of
Speaker 1: beauty products in their bags, and these women that were
Speaker 1: obviously there in the store saying telling me the women
Speaker 1: to leave, They couldn't. They just left. They left with
Speaker 1: all those stolen items in there, and all at worst
Speaker 1: you would get a citation for that because those products
Speaker 1: were valued at less than a thousand dollars. So that's
Speaker 1: the that is the state that we're in. So that's
Speaker 1: really just if you're a criminal, you've got to have
Speaker 1: a calculator to make sure you don't go over the threshold.
Speaker 1: As long as you don't go over a thousand dollars,
Speaker 1: then you're in in good shape there. I've seen the
Speaker 1: story in New York. Hey, in New York, which is California,
Speaker 1: the East coast, they have guys robbing banks and then
Speaker 1: getting let go because it was a non violent they
Speaker 1: didn't use a weapon, and they got like go and
Speaker 1: then go robbs somebody else. It's it's good, go ahead,
Speaker 1: knock yourself out. But if you call these people out,
Speaker 1: you're insensitive, you're politically incorrect. Uh yeah, people have a meltdown.
Speaker 1: That's what's wrong with you. You know, it's through you,
Speaker 1: it's it's mind boggling because we have videos now that
Speaker 1: aren't always showcased on television. They go to YouTube or
Speaker 1: Twitter right away. I've got people on the streets new
Speaker 1: biling up, you know, shooting heroin, black Tar, heroin, whatever
Speaker 1: it may be, and officers can't do anything about it.
Speaker 1: You know. I gotta tell you something that being the
Speaker 1: overnight guy and getting off work and driving home and
Speaker 1: I feel like I see a different place than a
Speaker 1: lot of the other people. What I mean by that
Speaker 1: is number one, like there's a lot of stuff all
Speaker 1: you're sleeping at least where I where I work, where
Speaker 1: we work in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood there in the
Speaker 1: San Fernando Valley in l A. And then getting from
Speaker 1: my I have a very short trip to get on
Speaker 1: the freeway. That's only a couple of blocks to get
Speaker 1: on a freeway. And the stuff you see overnight, you're
Speaker 1: you're allowed to sleep on the streets. So it sucks
Speaker 1: when you're homeless. And I'm not, but literally the homeless.
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you that it's out of control. What's
Speaker 1: going on with people just you know, laying and shifting
Speaker 1: on the streets, and it's wild it's like and then
Speaker 1: you got to be off the street by was it
Speaker 1: six in the morning or something like that when people
Speaker 1: start waking up. But I'm not, you know, I'm leaving
Speaker 1: and I'm seeing all this and like, whoa, this is crazy,
Speaker 1: And this is like a rich neighborhood. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of money there. There's a lot of rich Hollywood types
Speaker 1: of live in the hills above where we do the
Speaker 1: show from and they come down to shop in the
Speaker 1: morning at the that the whole foods market right near
Speaker 1: where we work, and they don't I don't think they
Speaker 1: see any of that because these people are gone. I
Speaker 1: don't know where they go during the day, but they
Speaker 1: go somewhere and they're not there. I had to give
Speaker 1: these security guards that heads up in the building that
Speaker 1: we work at because the main streets that we have
Speaker 1: that are intersected here, there's like a little bit of
Speaker 1: brush and ivy that's covered around the building. And one
Speaker 1: day in the middle of the day, I was recording
Speaker 1: some stuff here in the studio and I looked outside
Speaker 1: just to look at the streets or whatever, and ben
Speaker 1: as I look down where the brushes at there's this
Speaker 1: open patch of like dead plants, and all I saw
Speaker 1: were syringes and vials. That's all I saw. I kid
Speaker 1: you not. And there is obviously a band to for
Speaker 1: people that wanted to shoot up. So at the crap
Speaker 1: that I saw, or like you'd see on in the Wire,
Speaker 1: the show on HBO. I know you don't watch that show,
Speaker 1: but the stuff that they depicted obviously there in Baltimore,
Speaker 1: the streets because the drug wars and whatnot. It is there.
Speaker 1: It is here, it's in San Francisco. I know, it's
Speaker 1: in San Diego. I remember, like a year or two ago,
Speaker 1: we have the hepatatis hepatitis outbreak down there that came
Speaker 1: up to Los Angeles. And yeah, so the fifth largest
Speaker 1: economy in the world has attacks us more because they
Speaker 1: can't get their ship. No pun intended in order whatever,
Speaker 1: It's gotta be a way, Like I know, most politicians
Speaker 1: are dumb because if you're you're wise, you go into
Speaker 1: private business because you can make more. Although if you're
Speaker 1: a sleazy politician, you can make a lot of money.
Speaker 1: But there's gotta be a way to get it under control.
Speaker 1: What they're doing is not working. But this is not
Speaker 1: a political show. Guest, gun I know you want to
Speaker 1: make this a political show. This is not This is
Speaker 1: not politics. This is just you and I. It doesn't
Speaker 1: matter if you're a Republican, independent or a Democrat like
Speaker 1: you don't want to see that ship in your streets.
Speaker 1: You don't want to think I always think so, but
Speaker 1: apparently some people are just like I don't care. Man.
Speaker 1: Let you know, let's uh love piece ship in this reads.
Speaker 1: It's all good. You confined to me because you you
Speaker 1: mentioned your voting. How long did it take you to
Speaker 1: actually vote? Why I was? I I cheated. I used
Speaker 1: to cheat code. Well, I have a mail in ballot,
Speaker 1: but I didn't actually mail I did go to the
Speaker 1: voting place and turned it in at the voting place
Speaker 1: so I could vote. I didn't have to wait in
Speaker 1: line or anything like that. But I, uh so I
Speaker 1: did do that. It took me. It took me thirty
Speaker 1: seven minutes to vote. So when you had your ballot
Speaker 1: here in California, I don't know if all the other
Speaker 1: states are the same, but in California, when you have
Speaker 1: your voting ballot, they have a barcode on it. And
Speaker 1: the Russian hackers. Yeah, so the iPads that were used
Speaker 1: by the clerks to to validate your ballot, to verify
Speaker 1: you and whatnot. They scan the bar codes, the bar
Speaker 1: codes for people that were walking in before me wouldn't work.
Speaker 1: It frees up all the iPads. Same thing happened to me.
Speaker 1: You would freeze up the iPads. So it wait. We
Speaker 1: had to wait anywhere from fifteen and twenty minutes just
Speaker 1: to vote. And then on top of that, the information
Speaker 1: that showed up on the ballot on their computer system
Speaker 1: wasn't even accurate for me. And when I told him
Speaker 1: my name and my address, they didn't even ask for
Speaker 1: an I D. I could have told the knowledge you well,
Speaker 1: even like me, like with a mail in ballot, you
Speaker 1: could conceivably do the mail in ballot and then you know,
Speaker 1: get another ballot. It says not that it's voter fraud
Speaker 1: or whatever, but you know, every time I see that,
Speaker 1: I think of Chicago and dead people voting, And so
Speaker 1: where's the anxiety. Be sure to catch live editions of
Speaker 1: The Ben Miller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven
Speaker 1: pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart
Speaker 1: Radio app. Yeah, so the voter anxiety. So this is
Speaker 1: not about the actual election. This is about the John R.
Speaker 1: Wooden Award, the most hollowed award in all of sport.
Speaker 1: Forget the Heisman, forget these dopey n v P awards.
Speaker 1: That John R. Wooden Award is the most important award
Speaker 1: out there. So I have been a voder for many years.
Speaker 1: And first, I don't brag about it, gascount. I don't
Speaker 1: do a segment every year about me being a John R.
Speaker 1: Wooden Award voter, because that would be wrong, That would
Speaker 1: be wrong to do unless I absolutely do that. I
Speaker 1: absolutely do that every year. And it's coming up now.
Speaker 1: We're getting into March madness, and it is the time
Speaker 1: of the year where we we start getting excited about
Speaker 1: college basketball. The college basketball season last one month one month.
Speaker 1: So but Eddie brought something up randomly a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago. He said, Hey, are you still a John A.
Speaker 1: Wooden voter? And I thought I had an epiphany, and
Speaker 1: I was like, holy fuck, I haven't gotten any email
Speaker 1: from the Wooden people. They usually send me updates on
Speaker 1: you know, the voting and the finalists for the Wooden
Speaker 1: Award and all that stuff, and I hadn't gotten any
Speaker 1: in a while. And then I was like, wait a minute.
Speaker 1: I changed my email address a couple of months ago,
Speaker 1: the one that the Wooden people had, so I have
Speaker 1: a new email address, and so when Eddie asked me
Speaker 1: about it on the air, I then had a come
Speaker 1: to Jesus moment. I had the Aha moment and I said,
Speaker 1: holy fun. So then that started a two week sojourn
Speaker 1: of email and phone calls because my email that Wooden
Speaker 1: had was no longer valid. So I started freaking out,
Speaker 1: and for several days I tried to reach out to
Speaker 1: the people that I had dealt with at the Wooden
Speaker 1: Award panel and to get my status updated as a voter,
Speaker 1: and I got nothing. They didn't right back. I'm having anxiety.
Speaker 1: I'm freaking out. I'm like, holy funk, this is the
Speaker 1: one thing I get to vote for, and now I've
Speaker 1: lost the the vote because I have my email changing.
Speaker 1: And then finally, after just harassing the people at Wooden,
Speaker 1: they got back to me and said, we're got We're
Speaker 1: all good. Don't worry, We've updated our records. You're gonna
Speaker 1: be fine. So but for a couple of days there,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh crap. I mean, I'll never vote
Speaker 1: for the Heisman and these other stupid things. This is
Speaker 1: my this is my award to vote for. You would
Speaker 1: never vote for the Heisman. Well, the Heisman is a
Speaker 1: very elitist thing, and you got to know people and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. You gotta have somebody that gives you
Speaker 1: the green light to vote on that. I don't know
Speaker 1: any put I do the Overnight show. I'm a man
Speaker 1: of the people. I'm not some daytime guy. You know,
Speaker 1: I know there's some afternoon guys that vote for the Heisman.
Speaker 1: Fac I know you're gonna bring up one. I know
Speaker 1: who you're gonna bring up. But he was like a
Speaker 1: morning drive, midday guy, and and so he's got a vote.
Speaker 1: But that's yeah, and they don't give it to the
Speaker 1: overnight people. Who do you think I was gonna bring up?
Speaker 1: And my god, I know exactly what you're gonna bring
Speaker 1: up because he also brags about the fact that he
Speaker 1: has a Heisman vote. Who cares the Wooden Awards bigger
Speaker 1: than the Heisman. Everyone knows that. Um, so you don't
Speaker 1: want to bring him up, then well you can if
Speaker 1: you want to talk about Steve Hartman, go ahead, bring
Speaker 1: up Steve Hartman. Now he's got nicer hair than you,
Speaker 1: and he's like twice your age, but he does. I
Speaker 1: think he's had some work done though, really I'm think
Speaker 1: so things and I don't think that's natural hair club
Speaker 1: for men. You know, well whatever it all works were
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, right or you know, back in the
Speaker 1: day then when I when I first got into radio,
Speaker 1: it was it was Boner pills and there were companies
Speaker 1: advertising to have your hair replaced. You know, yeh, come
Speaker 1: I should. I'm a perfect candidate for that. Why don't
Speaker 1: I get hired to do that? Some of that ship?
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, on presentation a load, I did notice
Speaker 1: now that your pictures you've done a good job. As
Speaker 1: opposed to taking selfies from a distance, you're now taking
Speaker 1: up close selfies. And that's I got to give you
Speaker 1: a round of applause. Man, I normally don't. I don't
Speaker 1: really like complimenting you, but you've done a tremendous job
Speaker 1: at losing weight. Thank you. It's called not eating, it's
Speaker 1: called just not eating at all, and then you lose weight.
Speaker 1: But I do feel more. I'm not as self conscious
Speaker 1: now when my photo gets put up other than my hair,
Speaker 1: because we all, you know, vanity is part of human nature,
Speaker 1: so we all have to we're all vain. So other
Speaker 1: than that, I'm not as like you know, I'm a
Speaker 1: big fat tub of goo. I'm not one of one
Speaker 1: of our addendum to the Wooden Award thing. I would
Speaker 1: like to have a write in vote. Who says no,
Speaker 1: if I put Thomas snacks Lee as the tenth person
Speaker 1: on my ballot, He's not gonna win the Wooden Award,
Speaker 1: But wouldn't it be great for him to get a
Speaker 1: vote for the John R. Wooden Ward. I'm not supposed
Speaker 1: to talk about this because it's you know, you're not
Speaker 1: supposed to talk about your vote, but I am considering.
Speaker 1: I love this Thomas snacks Lee, this big tub of goo.
Speaker 1: I love this guy so much. I'm thinking about giving
Speaker 1: him an honorary vote for the Wooden Award. And I'm
Speaker 1: not kidding, by the way, I'm not. I think it
Speaker 1: would be awesome. Speaking of voting, I'm a little I
Speaker 1: am a little thrown off by the fact that I
Speaker 1: did not receive a Benny for for my efforts um
Speaker 1: with you in your show in twenty nineteen, so you
Speaker 1: actually I was. I was told by Robbie the Mariner
Speaker 1: Fan have a panel. I Robbie the Mariner fan transgender Dave.
Speaker 1: And we also have our friend Felexus in Buffalo that
Speaker 1: you are a nominee in twenty one Bennies for non
Speaker 1: binary personality at Fox Sports Radio. So you are in
Speaker 1: the running for that. It's so far you're the only
Speaker 1: person in the category. There's a ton of non binary
Speaker 1: personalities here at Fox Sports Radio. I don't know. Would
Speaker 1: you like to name them alphabetically? Go ahead, No, I
Speaker 1: would take me too long. And we got a long
Speaker 1: roster here at Fox Sports Radio of non binary or
Speaker 1: no personality talent. Really, yeah, don't you think I don't
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about. I love my colleagues, I
Speaker 1: love my co workers. I would never trash them like
Speaker 1: you don't even have bad team. You don't even hang
Speaker 1: out with any of them. I don't like them in
Speaker 1: that light, but I respect them as broadcast over under
Speaker 1: I think would be under. You probably have no less
Speaker 1: than fifty percent of the people at work here by name,
Speaker 1: uh like behind the scenes people, all of them? No, No,
Speaker 1: I know more than fifty. You know, speak absolutely a
Speaker 1: lot of the daytime people. I used to work the daytime,
Speaker 1: and there's the same pe bol behind the scenes. The
Speaker 1: great John Ramos, l a radio late John Ramos, Big Mike.
Speaker 1: I've known him Big Mike since he was nothing. Now
Speaker 1: he's a big management guy, Dan Buyer or sports director.
Speaker 1: I knew Dan when he was doing the overnights with me,
Speaker 1: and I try to set him up with women and
Speaker 1: he would freak out the whole thing. Speaking of which,
Speaker 1: I know the employees here. You don't know a lot
Speaker 1: of them, but your listeners and your followers, I know
Speaker 1: a few of them. I think one of my favorites
Speaker 1: now besaids I'm a pilot, and Terry and of course
Speaker 1: Tammy is is fun House because he showed some light
Speaker 1: and I watched this awesome video last night on calling Coward,
Speaker 1: and I wish you could be more like him, like
Speaker 1: the work ethic, the preparation, like I wish you had
Speaker 1: that kind of where of thought. Like he's bounced around
Speaker 1: different states, different platforms, and I'm I'm really I gotta
Speaker 1: say thank you to fun House because that material is well.
Speaker 1: I know you love Cower and he's very popular. A
Speaker 1: lot of the guys in the business copy Cowherd's acts. Good,
Speaker 1: no one's copying my act, but you have fun House
Speaker 1: is wonderful. I did get a kick out of that.
Speaker 1: I think we everyone that does a sports radio show
Speaker 1: really feels the pain of Colin because in that you're
Speaker 1: talking about a video that was on the Athletic that
Speaker 1: Funhouse shared, Yes, and he and you know, Colin was
Speaker 1: a documentary was well done. Who was the guy that
Speaker 1: was behind that was arm and contain? Yeah, yeah, he's
Speaker 1: very good. It was very well That was like a
Speaker 1: sixty minutes style docu piece on Colin Cowherd. It was
Speaker 1: last year and I didn't see it, but us fun
Speaker 1: House posted something. I watched it, and I watched I
Speaker 1: guess I was able to get the full clip and
Speaker 1: uh yeah, it was great. You know, it's we have
Speaker 1: a similar life. Me and Colin Cowardy talked about how
Speaker 1: there's no easy days in sports radio. I agree on that. Uh.
Speaker 1: Then he talked about how tough it is to figure
Speaker 1: out what to talk about, and he has a team
Speaker 1: of ten producers that sit around and they write out
Speaker 1: topic ideas. And I have the same thing. I lived
Speaker 1: the same life. I lived the same life, have a
Speaker 1: team of ten producers. They show up early. They don't
Speaker 1: show up at ten fifty nine, right before the show
Speaker 1: goes on there. They are there, early prepared. They're peppering
Speaker 1: me with, hey, maybe we could talk about this tonight.
Speaker 1: It's a NonStop is a collaborative effort, much like Colin Coward.
Speaker 1: We'll see. Since you're heavy with sarcasm right now on this,
Speaker 1: On this, I don't know what you're talking about. I
Speaker 1: don't know what you're talking about. This answers the question
Speaker 1: that people were asking earlier, like why does David and
Speaker 1: and your wife have have so much in common? It's
Speaker 1: because we are here to support you so well. Again
Speaker 1: you're talking about, well this is why Chris and Houston
Speaker 1: and others have questions. Well, this is why, and I'm
Speaker 1: giving them the answers. Because you don't have ten producers
Speaker 1: that are helping you. You have you have me, and
Speaker 1: then you you have some like keep trying. Ryan is
Speaker 1: always there trying, Ryan Burshea, Gavin Gavin at times sometimes Mary,
Speaker 1: I haven't had Gavin as a producer. I don't think
Speaker 1: he's allowed to do the overnights. I think it's he's
Speaker 1: he said he did not want to do the overnight.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't blame him, but he's not He's
Speaker 1: much like you. He's not adaptable. He can't change. I
Speaker 1: am adaptable, I just not really. You're you're a bit
Speaker 1: of a wiss. I prefer the daytime elements. You know,
Speaker 1: you like the corporate bs, you like all that. You
Speaker 1: don't want to you can't handle the big leagues, overnights,
Speaker 1: the big leagues and syndicated radio guests. I'm on more
Speaker 1: affiliates than Colin Coward. How about that. I do know that.
Speaker 1: I don't know if the ratings are as powerful, but
Speaker 1: again it's possibility. If there's people can't sleep, you'd be shocked.
Speaker 1: And I've learned this from doing the years of overnight.
Speaker 1: How many people have insomnia And it's like a headen
Speaker 1: drug that people can't they got they seem to all
Speaker 1: have at some point one one point or another. You
Speaker 1: had a bad day at work, whatever, you had a
Speaker 1: bad meal, you're up late, you're by yourself and your
Speaker 1: your partners asleep. If you're married and you're like, I'm lonely,
Speaker 1: I'll turn on the radio. Yeah, but I don't know
Speaker 1: if they want to listen to too much of your listeners,
Speaker 1: that's the only problem. Like you, you go through these
Speaker 1: these rants and raves about whatever, and then you go
Speaker 1: through story time about a listener that's traveling across the
Speaker 1: country or man Man, that's a great referring the movie
Speaker 1: Man Matt, that's a great guy. That's a you know that,
Speaker 1: I'll teach you about life. Gist, Gun, you have to
Speaker 1: be relatable, so you don't care about the common man.
Speaker 1: You're an elitist. You're west of the four oh five
Speaker 1: guy in l A. This is why people hate you. Okay,
Speaker 1: I live east of the four oh five, and so
Speaker 1: it's a whole different experience. Like I'm interested. I am
Speaker 1: more interested in John the security guard what he had
Speaker 1: on his break, or moving man Matt as he travels
Speaker 1: his Sodier and across North America, Like, I'm more interested
Speaker 1: in that than I am in the one percenters, which
Speaker 1: is what you care about. You know what's western, you
Speaker 1: know what's east of the four h five Freeway, Beverly, Beverly,
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills. You don't live in passage west of the four.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about east, and you are east of the
Speaker 1: four five Beverly Hills. Dummy, Alright, there's only one of
Speaker 1: us that's been camped a first class flight to somewhere
Speaker 1: out of California, and that is Ben Maller, the the
Speaker 1: white collar of Fox Sports Radio. You are. Everyone knows
Speaker 1: the truth here. I'm a man of the people, by
Speaker 1: the people, for the people. I am a fan of
Speaker 1: the people's team, the Clippers, the working class, the blue
Speaker 1: collar team. That's what I'm of course. And the last
Speaker 1: time you saw Colin Cowherd was one was that when
Speaker 1: a certain corporate event in a rich, upper class area
Speaker 1: of California decided to invite you out for for a
Speaker 1: round of golf and dinner and rose pedals and and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Yes, I was at I was at
Speaker 1: a golf tournament for Fox Sports Radio. I was asked
Speaker 1: by my boss, Scott Shapiro to attend. I was in
Speaker 1: the past, I've always been shunned at these things, and they,
Speaker 1: you know, tossed me a bone. Normally, I'm overlooked and
Speaker 1: ignored when it comes to that kind of stuff. I
Speaker 1: am unwanted at those type of events. But thought, he
Speaker 1: that's for one time. Let's do a solid de Mallard
Speaker 1: and Mike Harmon, by the way, who's also ostracized, and
Speaker 1: we'll throw these guys a solid We'll let them come
Speaker 1: out hang out rub shoulders with the elite, and uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I did do that for one day, for about I
Speaker 1: don't know, seven hours or whatever. It was the full,
Speaker 1: full day of events that we had that day. It
Speaker 1: was fun Newport Beach. Yeah, it's really relatable to the
Speaker 1: common man. Ben, I'm happy you said that. Yes again,
Speaker 1: but that was you know, west of the four oh five.
Speaker 1: I don't live there though. I live in a working
Speaker 1: class town where I live. And uh, but yeah, I
Speaker 1: know you were talking about my my show preparation, my
Speaker 1: my versatility as as a host overnight, and it really is,
Speaker 1: again a collaborative effort. Um. It is a chorus. It
Speaker 1: is not a solo performance. It's not a one man band.
Speaker 1: It takes a lot of work to come up with
Speaker 1: all those monologues that take hours and hours to put together.
Speaker 1: You don't like the several people group. It's the group dynamic.
Speaker 1: What's that? It is a group dynamic. But you don't
Speaker 1: like listen to people when it comes to that stuff. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's not true at all. That's not true at all.
Speaker 1: People have good ideas, I listen, they have bad ideas.
Speaker 1: I don't listen. The only time I've ever observed you
Speaker 1: listen to people's like when you open up your monologues,
Speaker 1: and there's certain language in my text messages that you
Speaker 1: extract and then you put and then it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, this is a liar. Liar pants on.
Speaker 1: David Gascon is a fucking snake and a liar I've done.
Speaker 1: I only lie about being a snake. That's about it.
Speaker 1: Ben Maller. Yeah, you're your nickname. And I don't know
Speaker 1: if I should say this in the air, but your
Speaker 1: nickname at Fox Sports is old News gas Gon. A
Speaker 1: old news Gaston is your nickname because you're like stuck
Speaker 1: in a different dimension, your couple of hours or a
Speaker 1: couple of days behind the rest of us. It's fascinating. Wow,
Speaker 1: I will. It's better than being fake news, Ben Maller.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Speaker 1: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. So
Speaker 1: moving on, you forgot something, you forgot something. And so
Speaker 1: this is a personal story I did not tell in
Speaker 1: the radio. I've saved it for the fifth hour. So
Speaker 1: last weekend I went to see a hockey game. I
Speaker 1: don't get out as much as I used to. I
Speaker 1: used to live at these events. But then I got
Speaker 1: married and now I'm not allowed to go anywhere. But
Speaker 1: I went to see the King's play The New Jersey
Speaker 1: Devils and catch up with my friends that are on
Speaker 1: the beat. And I have friends that cover hockey whatever,
Speaker 1: so I chance to get out pressed the flesh, get
Speaker 1: a little time in the arena. I love the coldness.
Speaker 1: And you walk into an NHL arena and there is this.
Speaker 1: I love it. It's cool anyway, So being the nocturnal colonel.
Speaker 1: The one problem this was a mattenee. It was a
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon start dropped the puck, I believe at twelve thirty.
Speaker 1: They dropped the truck that the park, which is normally
Speaker 1: my overnight. I'm a vampire. I don't like to come
Speaker 1: out during the daylight. So I'm half asleep, but I'm like,
Speaker 1: I gotta go to this this game. I gotta go.
Speaker 1: Now I have a chance to get out. The wife
Speaker 1: was busy. Whatever, I'll go on, so I'm half asleep.
Speaker 1: I drove all the way from the Mallard mansion in
Speaker 1: Nevada essentially, and uh. I drove to the downtown l A,
Speaker 1: the corridor there around Staples Center and I have a
Speaker 1: parking lot which is about a mile away from Staples Center.
Speaker 1: It's the cheapest parking lot in the downtown l A
Speaker 1: area for these type of events that it's on. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's right near that target, you know, the
Speaker 1: targeting downtown. It's kind of north. Yeah. How much it
Speaker 1: what's that? How much do you pay for it? When
Speaker 1: I first started going, there was four dollars. That was
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. Now it is up to seven dollars. Okay,
Speaker 1: there's one two blocks north on Figure. Oh it's I
Speaker 1: think it's on Fig and ninth. I believe it is,
Speaker 1: but it's in a it's in between two high rises.
Speaker 1: And it's only seven dollars as well. Yeah, yeah, so
Speaker 1: it's seven. That's the cheapest you can get. Used to
Speaker 1: be four, not the went to five. I was upset
Speaker 1: by that six. I didn't like that. Now it's seven
Speaker 1: and uh, and they're tearing down more parking lots around there.
Speaker 1: So I'm worried. It's gonna tell my wife is so
Speaker 1: this thing is gonna be twenty bucks within like a
Speaker 1: couple of years. It's just gonna get it's gonna continue
Speaker 1: to be out of control and all the stuff. So
Speaker 1: but anyway, I go to the parking lot whatever, my
Speaker 1: normal thing. The gate comes up, I take the ticket.
Speaker 1: After the you know, the gate comes up there and
Speaker 1: I go in and I parked my car, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know again I'm a half asleep. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: you gotta pay. It's a pay lot. It's only seven bucks,
Speaker 1: big deal. But I parked the car. I go to
Speaker 1: the elevator and I realized I had forgotten something. And
Speaker 1: what do you think I forgot? Guess, guy, Uh, it's
Speaker 1: not your keys, I'd say, it's obviously it's not my keys.
Speaker 1: It's it's your wallet. Yes, yes, I then have anxiety.
Speaker 1: I do not have my wallet. I think, well, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe it fell out in the car. Maybe you know,
Speaker 1: I sat down and it just fell out in the Maltmobile.
Speaker 1: It's probably under the seat. So let me go back
Speaker 1: to my car and I'll pillage around underneath the seat
Speaker 1: to find the wallet, and then I'll be fine, no problem.
Speaker 1: I'm sure I have my wallet. So I go back
Speaker 1: to the car. Now I see these two, these two
Speaker 1: dudes who are smoking the Gondra in the in a car,
Speaker 1: right car. I didn't notice this when I first got
Speaker 1: out of the car. There's smoking the weed, the Mary
Speaker 1: Jane right across me, right, so whatever, So I they
Speaker 1: must think I'm nuts because I go back to my
Speaker 1: car after like five minutes, and I'm I'm just on
Speaker 1: my hands and knees trying to get my wall. Nothing right, nothing,
Speaker 1: can't find a damn wallet, something like crap. And now
Speaker 1: keep in mind, I don't have my driver's license, I
Speaker 1: don't have credit card. I have no way to pay
Speaker 1: for the parking, and so I'm like freaking out on what.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't have any way to get any money.
Speaker 1: I'll be I have to be like that bum in
Speaker 1: Miami and start begging for money. So how am I
Speaker 1: gonna leave the garage with no money? You know, I
Speaker 1: haven't even got on a game yet. I don't have
Speaker 1: access to money. And then I had one of those
Speaker 1: Eureka moments right where all of a sudden I realized
Speaker 1: that I had, As my mom taught me years ago,
Speaker 1: you have to have an emergency, a hidden fund somewhere.
Speaker 1: And in my I brought my my laptop with me
Speaker 1: and my computer bag. Years ago, I'd even forgotten about this.
Speaker 1: I had an emergency twenty dollar bill in my computer
Speaker 1: bag as insurance in case something like this ever happened.
Speaker 1: I never had to use it until this past weekend.
Speaker 1: So about that? What is okay? So two questions. One
Speaker 1: is where did you find did you find your wallet?
Speaker 1: And where did you find it? Out? I was at home.
Speaker 1: I left it. I was so tired when I left it,
Speaker 1: left it right near the I usually leave it right
Speaker 1: near the door, and I just left it. It was
Speaker 1: in such a daze when I was leaving, I was
Speaker 1: like half asleep. The other question is is what is
Speaker 1: up with you dropping ship all over the place now,
Speaker 1: your wallet, your phone at Costco. I didn't drop ship.
Speaker 1: I I left it because I was tired, all right.
Speaker 1: I don't don't make this something. It's not that it
Speaker 1: is now I would tell you, and this is trending.
Speaker 1: I had to go to see my dad after I know,
Speaker 1: hang out with my dad. After I the King game,
Speaker 1: I drove Newport Beach. I drove not a a mile
Speaker 1: over the speed limit because I didn't have my wallets.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, if I get pulled over, this
Speaker 1: becomes a big problem. You know, well, I mean you
Speaker 1: still have your registration and insurance in the car, right, Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had that, so it's only a fixed ticket. I
Speaker 1: think it's like thirty five bucks. Oh is that right?
Speaker 1: But then I I my wife said, and she works
Speaker 1: at the police station, that you can show a photo copy,
Speaker 1: like if you took I did take a photo of
Speaker 1: my driver's license, so I have that, so I could
Speaker 1: have conceivably shown that. Right, you can show that. I
Speaker 1: don't know, I haven't been pulled over in a long time. Well,
Speaker 1: you have special privileges, you know that have those special privileges.
Speaker 1: You know someone's gonna be on board. And someone was talking,
Speaker 1: I'm a man of the people. Yeah, well your wife's
Speaker 1: your wife's got the privilege to right or no, Oh,
Speaker 1: my wife's pretty yeah. I mean because she she knows
Speaker 1: the lingo how to get out of a ticket. She
Speaker 1: knows what to say and all that. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh funk, I'm getting a ticket. But I'm
Speaker 1: with my wife. She'd be like, oh, yeah, she she knows,
Speaker 1: like there's certain things you can say. She'll like find
Speaker 1: she'll find a way. She's a master. She's like a
Speaker 1: ninja of working in the conversation. Oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I work at the police, you know,
Speaker 1: and once you say that, it's you know, you're good.
Speaker 1: You don't have well, you don't have any stickers in
Speaker 1: your car, right, like for like an l A l
Speaker 1: A City Fire Department or I'd like to get one,
Speaker 1: can you can? You? Guy? Now you want something? Yeah,
Speaker 1: something that's like a get out of speeding ticket. That
Speaker 1: thing there. That's what the key for me is. I
Speaker 1: spent a lot of my time on the highway, so
Speaker 1: I need somebody. If there's a Mallard militia guy who's
Speaker 1: a highway patrol officer, that's what I would really need
Speaker 1: because I'm not really worried about the l A p
Speaker 1: D or anything like that. I'm worried about the highway
Speaker 1: patrol because those are the guys that go cherry tops
Speaker 1: and pull me over. Do we have any do we
Speaker 1: have any listening the dark cloud? What the hell is
Speaker 1: the dark cloud? Guest? What is this all about? The
Speaker 1: dark Cloud? I think started in two thousand nineteen with you,
Speaker 1: And it feels like to me that I think this
Speaker 1: goes back to you not even getting credentialed for RAMS
Speaker 1: game at home. I think it went Rams. Oh, that's right,
Speaker 1: the Rams and the Buccaneers. Yes, and the Rams wouldn't
Speaker 1: allow me and fund them. Yes. I think it's the Rams.
Speaker 1: The Seahawks game and they lost that Get you Up
Speaker 1: double Nichols did Jameis Winston that game. That's karma. That's karma, assholes.
Speaker 1: But this goes back to all that, like you've had
Speaker 1: this dark cloud of misfortune that's happened to you, and
Speaker 1: it carried over to me with my car and the
Speaker 1: window getting blown out. Been a couple of days ago.
Speaker 1: I was I was at the gym and I was
Speaker 1: working out, and I come home to find out the
Speaker 1: water heater blew out, so I had no access to
Speaker 1: hot water. In fact, I had no access to water period.
Speaker 1: And I had to work late in the afternoon and
Speaker 1: I had just finished the gym, so I was nearly
Speaker 1: soaking wet, and I had a minute. Did you do?
Speaker 1: What did you do? The horse bath is because I
Speaker 1: learned that's the term. I didn't have water, so I
Speaker 1: did the next best thing I can do. In the
Speaker 1: coronavirus outbreak realm that we live in, can you rub
Speaker 1: dirt all over yourself? No? I grab I grabbed wipes.
Speaker 1: I grabbed like the smell, the handheld wipes, the okay
Speaker 1: effective wipes. So I put disinfected on my arms, my hands,
Speaker 1: my feet, my legs, um and then I had to
Speaker 1: wear obviously jeans and it. Wore a long sleeve shirt
Speaker 1: and a sweater to work and then just drenched myself
Speaker 1: in deodorant. So I had to go. I went. I
Speaker 1: went close to forty hours without a shower. And this
Speaker 1: is after a couple of rounds of working out. You
Speaker 1: are so neurotic, waiting, neurot Like it just felt like ship.
Speaker 1: I was just dirty, couldn't shower. Are you like everyone
Speaker 1: else though, like with this coronavirus thing? Like, are you like?
Speaker 1: I feel like everyone is a heathen hypochondriac. You know,
Speaker 1: everyone thinks whatever is being talked about, they're going to get.
Speaker 1: And listen, some people obviously are going to get this coronavirus,
Speaker 1: But I'm not obsessed with it. Like I feel like
Speaker 1: everyone's obsessed with this, and I feel like they're preoccupied
Speaker 1: with all of it. I asked you this, I asked
Speaker 1: you a portion of this last week we're talking about mortality,
Speaker 1: and you kind of blew me off, like, hey, we're
Speaker 1: all gonna go one way or another. But think I
Speaker 1: believe that to be true. We we don't know what
Speaker 1: we don't know, of course, I think, so I think
Speaker 1: I might worry about it. No one, not a single
Speaker 1: person who's died has come back, so it must not
Speaker 1: be that bad. Well, listen, this all stems from from
Speaker 1: the I guess, the unbreakable to the breakable. When when
Speaker 1: I was like sixteen or seventeen, I had tore my
Speaker 1: road tittor cuff in a football game to me get
Speaker 1: my violin out, I'm telling you something, humble, brag, tougher
Speaker 1: than you. I broke my collar bone tour my road
Speaker 1: to the cuff listening to whatever. Anyway, So a couple
Speaker 1: of years later, when I was in college, I also
Speaker 1: broke it again in a scrimmage against U C. L A.
Speaker 1: But ever since then then I think about my mortality
Speaker 1: more than I ever did prior to that, because like,
Speaker 1: once you're cracked, then you're cracked, you know, and and
Speaker 1: so now I value I hate going to the hospital.
Speaker 1: I hate going to funerals. Who the funk likes going
Speaker 1: to the hospital. Who are the people's I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: sure there's some that just love being the patient, but
Speaker 1: most people would not when I was in the hospital
Speaker 1: for a week, you didn't come and visit me. Called,
Speaker 1: and that's where you're at. I asked, you're okay, but
Speaker 1: to your wife, I'm not gonna let you defame me,
Speaker 1: like to faming just I know you're sent. The way
Speaker 1: you reacted proves I am right. You were very defensive
Speaker 1: about this. You did not. I was five days I
Speaker 1: could have died. My eyes were turning yellow, I was jaundice.
Speaker 1: You didn't come and visit me in the hospital. When
Speaker 1: I was on my deathbed. You didn't come and see
Speaker 1: me there. Uh, and really nobody did, like you really noticed.
Speaker 1: Like when you're in the hospital, you're bored out of
Speaker 1: your mind. There's nothing to do. The only one that
Speaker 1: visited me was my mother in law. She came and
Speaker 1: hung up when she's a nurse, but she came and
Speaker 1: kept an eye on me. My own father would not
Speaker 1: visit me in the hospital because he told me I
Speaker 1: don't really like those those places. Thanks Dad. I appreciated
Speaker 1: Dad for the record. I was texting you the entire
Speaker 1: time and when I didn't get response, Okay, you didn't
Speaker 1: you when we go to the text messages, you loser.
Speaker 1: I was I was gonna say something really bad, but
Speaker 1: you are such a dingle berry. No, no, I didn't
Speaker 1: get a response, and so your wife texted me to
Speaker 1: say that you were in the hospital. And then when
Speaker 1: I where you were at, I didn't even get a
Speaker 1: fucking direct message about where you're at. You're just saying
Speaker 1: you was such a buffoon. He was such a washed
Speaker 1: up clown. You let me tell you what this hapless
Speaker 1: dope dat. Okay, so I'm in the hospital. I'm completely
Speaker 1: fucked up. I did at that time. I didn't really
Speaker 1: know what was going on, and this guy's harassing me verbally,
Speaker 1: this punk is harassing me with these angry text messages.
Speaker 1: You were You were just completely intolerable. You are a narcissist.
Speaker 1: You are unbearable. I wouldn't go that far. I would would.
Speaker 1: I would just remember I remember that reading those message.
Speaker 1: I just I was like, I told me, why does
Speaker 1: he realize I am in the in the emergency room here,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, not doing well? You know, I think
Speaker 1: it's all a state of mind. And I felt like
Speaker 1: if you were down and out, you wouldn't respond. But
Speaker 1: the fact that you did respond just tells me that
Speaker 1: you you had your cognitive of motor fi functions up
Speaker 1: the operations. So I thought you were okay. But first
Speaker 1: of all, I did ask your wife and you where
Speaker 1: you're at. I got no response in that. Then I
Speaker 1: asked where you're if you're okay. I got very little
Speaker 1: response on that, And so you know, it's like you
Speaker 1: gotta live with that. You know, I could die. You
Speaker 1: didn't come visit me in the hospital on you. If
Speaker 1: you were in the hospital, I'd come visit you. Back
Speaker 1: to the coronavirus, I'm a better person than you about that. No,
Speaker 1: it's too far for you. My mom taught me right.
Speaker 1: You'd ask for gas money probably, I'd go out there.
Speaker 1: I'd go to Tito's Tacos while you were in the hospital,
Speaker 1: neat some tacos. Are you worried about the coronavirus at all?
Speaker 1: I am not. I am not worried about this because
Speaker 1: I feel like every year there is something that pops up,
Speaker 1: whether it's the West Nile virus, the bird flu Bolo
Speaker 1: was a big one, the Zekea virus and was going
Speaker 1: to kill us all and all that stuff. You know,
Speaker 1: Now it's the coronavirus. I'm not. I'm not worried because
Speaker 1: by all accounts it's I look at it this way,
Speaker 1: like maybe I'll get it. I mean, if enough people
Speaker 1: get it, I'm sure my number will come up and
Speaker 1: I'll get it. But from everything I've read online, it's
Speaker 1: like a different strain of you know, get the cold
Speaker 1: or the flu. Like to me, for most people, it
Speaker 1: is in that classification. It's in that box where it's
Speaker 1: like a different strain of the flu or the cold.
Speaker 1: That's the way I'm looking at it. And I don't.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't until somebody tells me this is
Speaker 1: the Black plague or something like that, and they can
Speaker 1: prove it with the facts. I mean, obviously people, certain
Speaker 1: percentage of people are dying. I think it's like the
Speaker 1: mortality rate is what three percent or something like that,
Speaker 1: but it's a lot. You're talking about old people, You're
Speaker 1: talking about people with immune system issues, and you know,
Speaker 1: if I was somebody like that, yeah, I wouldn't leave
Speaker 1: my house. I would self quarantine if I had that
Speaker 1: those kind of issues of us fighting an illness. I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel bad for those people, but for a don't
Speaker 1: like me at this point in my life. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna worry about it. What about you? Are
Speaker 1: you a glass case of emotion? No, I'm not, but
Speaker 1: I do. I do take it seriously. I mean it's
Speaker 1: a biological weapon. I take it like that. I mean
Speaker 1: you think the flu is a biological weapon? No, I don't.
Speaker 1: But this is manufactured in China, and you're not getting
Speaker 1: accurate numbers from China or Iran, so that that those
Speaker 1: numbers are obviously spreading across the United States, in Canada,
Speaker 1: in the UK, uh in France. How savage is it
Speaker 1: that this came from eating a bat? Right, that this
Speaker 1: this is a disease from bats, that it jumps species?
Speaker 1: First of all, who the funk is eating bats? That's
Speaker 1: number one? Chinese apparently domins cats. It's crazy, man, It's unbelievable,
Speaker 1: just ruthless, sys like a nice meal, Let me grab
Speaker 1: a bat. Of course, I think it's gad zooks. What
Speaker 1: we eat, what we don't eat, you know, like why
Speaker 1: we chose the cow, not the horrors. But I remember
Speaker 1: that I learned that you're ago because the horse was
Speaker 1: valuable and could be the worker, so they couldn't eat
Speaker 1: the horse. But other people eat the horse. You know,
Speaker 1: it's what you choose to eat what you don't choose.
Speaker 1: I do love that our buildings now have signs posted
Speaker 1: in the restrooms about washing our hands. It's like, what
Speaker 1: the funk of course wash your hands. I see so
Speaker 1: many assholes leaving a restaurant restroom, or a a bar restroom,
Speaker 1: or even a gym restroom without washing their hands, and
Speaker 1: I just want to kick him in the knees, Like,
Speaker 1: what kind of asshole do you gotta be to not
Speaker 1: wash your hands after you go take a piss or
Speaker 1: a deuce? Yeah, well listen, if you don't, there are
Speaker 1: ways you can do it without touching you junk. So
Speaker 1: if you don't do that, it doesn't matter. It does matter,
Speaker 1: it doesn't it. Do pray and pray you're still getting
Speaker 1: that ship on your hands, on your wrists, on your
Speaker 1: totally no, no no, no. Have you ever looked at a
Speaker 1: toilet bowl or like a you're install like you don't
Speaker 1: go in there and it's just pristine. Motherfucker's don't know
Speaker 1: how to fire and even when they do. That is true,
Speaker 1: But I'm talking about from the logistical standpoint of how
Speaker 1: you would handle h if you are able to, If
Speaker 1: you were like gym shorts and you pull them down,
Speaker 1: and there's no contact with your manhood and your hands,
Speaker 1: and you don't you use your foot, your shoe flush
Speaker 1: the toilet. You haven't made any contact. Now, you could
Speaker 1: argue getting into the stall would be a problem that
Speaker 1: you have to touch the handle to get in, but
Speaker 1: maybe you don't. Maybe you bump your elbow to get
Speaker 1: in the stall, and so you've made no contact with
Speaker 1: your drunk. You've made no contact with any part of
Speaker 1: the toilet, You've made no contact with the door. Why
Speaker 1: do you need to wash your hand? That's just lazy.
Speaker 1: The handle you mentioned, But explain to me how that's
Speaker 1: going to cause a problem. If you didn't touch anything
Speaker 1: with your hands, why would that be a problem. One
Speaker 1: of the dirtiest pieces of equipment that we use every
Speaker 1: day as a cell phone. So you're using your cell
Speaker 1: phone prior to go to the bathroom. Anyway, you're you're
Speaker 1: steering wheel in your car. So I get that. But
Speaker 1: you see you go to the commode, you're in the outhouse,
Speaker 1: but you don't. You don't. It's a different By that logic,
Speaker 1: you should always wash your hands, you know, seven times
Speaker 1: a day and be like, what's that? What's that? Bald
Speaker 1: guy in Hollywood, the Howie Mandel having. Yeah, Well, I
Speaker 1: shower before I eat, or not shower before I eat, shower,
Speaker 1: wash my hands, power before you eat? Right, I washed
Speaker 1: my hand. Let it be clean when you're having a
Speaker 1: nice I washed my hands before I eat. Um, that's
Speaker 1: that's always nice. I wash my hands when I get
Speaker 1: to work. I shower before I go to the gym
Speaker 1: and then shower after. So yeah, there's nothing wrong with
Speaker 1: being clean. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk

Speaker 1: don't care, just tell them, Hey, I hear this. This
Speaker 1: podcast is pretty good or whatever you can lie. I
Speaker 1: don't care. We need to get on an airline. That's
Speaker 1: what we need to do. What's that we need to
Speaker 1: get it on an airline Like Delta and Jet Blue
Speaker 1: have along with their channels for serious and and Direct TV,
Speaker 1: they have a podcasting platform. There's only like six or
Speaker 1: seven podcasts on their on their platform, but let me
Speaker 1: guess they're all Joe Rogan podcast, mainstream Rogan at all.
Speaker 1: It was like some cooking bullshit, a political one. You
Speaker 1: just want to know about that. Yeah, it is pretty
Speaker 1: cool though. Fox Sports Radio is on some of those
Speaker 1: airlines and people can listen and obviously on the cross country,
Speaker 1: continental intercontinental flight or whatever, you can listen to this
Speaker 1: show and it's uh. I remember we used to have
Speaker 1: a guy, Steve Stillwell, it worked in our place and
Speaker 1: he flew from I think it was from from Buffalo
Speaker 1: to l A, or was from New York City to
Speaker 1: l A and he listened to UH. I used to
Speaker 1: do the show with the TV Dennis The Blitz, which
Speaker 1: was on Sunday was seven hours of updating the NFL
Speaker 1: right all day long and this uh, this guy alright,
Speaker 1: this loser and I know he's a nice guy, but
Speaker 1: he he flew listened to the show and then was
Speaker 1: so agitated by the show. He was distraught. He said,
Speaker 1: you know, they're just giving scores for seven hours rather boring.
Speaker 1: I say, hey, dummy, that's how the show works. Why
Speaker 1: are you confus used by that? And he worked on
Speaker 1: the show, which made it even more ridiculous. All right,
Speaker 1: Jesse from Pomona Rights, and he says, my question is
Speaker 1: would you rather? Would you rather stay at your overnight
Speaker 1: position on Fox with the same crew, same money, or
Speaker 1: would you take a TV gig with gag on for
Speaker 1: a slight three raise the answer to this, that's for Jesse. Well, no,
Speaker 1: I'm an over I I want my cake and I
Speaker 1: want to eat it too, so I would I would
Speaker 1: like both, um, but three per cents not enough. TV
Speaker 1: money is different, Jesse, than radio money, and certainly different
Speaker 1: than overnight money in radios. So if any TV job
Speaker 1: would pay a tremendous amount of money compared to what
Speaker 1: I make right now, so I would be very interested
Speaker 1: in that. But I would like to keep the the show.
Speaker 1: We have such a great thing going on. Why blow it? Right?
Speaker 1: Come on? Uh, let's see a new in Owensboro, Kentucky.
Speaker 1: Rights in. He says, Ben, since you have family New York,
Speaker 1: which happens to be my hometown, did you ever ride
Speaker 1: the subway? What do you think of it? Yes, I knew.
Speaker 1: I ride the subway all the time, although not the
Speaker 1: last couple of trips because my wife is very boogie.
Speaker 1: She's not a woman of the people and she cannot
Speaker 1: handle public transportation. But um went in rollm act like
Speaker 1: a rollman, right, uh? And I when I went in
Speaker 1: New York, you take the subway. I I don't mind it,
Speaker 1: although I understand the subway has gotten gotten bad, much
Speaker 1: like l A and San Francisco and all that with
Speaker 1: the homeless people and whatnot. But yeah, I have fond
Speaker 1: memories when I when I first went to New York
Speaker 1: and I was like still a teenager and trying to navigate.
Speaker 1: I've never been on the public transportation trying to navigate
Speaker 1: the the train system in New York. And I remember
Speaker 1: one time I got confused and I thought, hey, um,
Speaker 1: the train will just go back to where you know,
Speaker 1: if I stay on the train, it'll stop at the
Speaker 1: end and then go back to where I got on.
Speaker 1: The train didn't quite work out. The train stopped in
Speaker 1: Harlem and and uh, and this is when Harlem was
Speaker 1: worse than it is now. And you know, they cleaned
Speaker 1: it up, but it was not a good part of
Speaker 1: New York. And the conductor gets on and says, all right,
Speaker 1: end of the line, trains going out of service. So
Speaker 1: I'm this naive kid from the O c uh and
Speaker 1: I get out of the train. I'm like, holy fuck,
Speaker 1: I'm in Harlem. And it was late. You know, I
Speaker 1: didn't know the train schedule at that station, and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh man, But yeah, I have fun memories
Speaker 1: of the the train. I like it. I think it's cool.
Speaker 1: How I took the public transportation in l A I
Speaker 1: used to live. When I lived in Lincoln Heights, I
Speaker 1: lived right near a Gold Line station, and I took
Speaker 1: that all the time. Do you like the subway better
Speaker 1: than the tea in Boston? Uh? The t is pretty cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I like all. I think it's all kind
Speaker 1: of same. I like the Tea, which is mostly above ground.
Speaker 1: There was the underground part, but I you know, I'm
Speaker 1: fine with any of that. I think Seattle is pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Seattle has like the the Metro. It's like the thing
Speaker 1: at Disneyland. What do you call it, monil the mono rail. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like a mono rail type thing. Yes, I haven't
Speaker 1: seen that, which is kind of cool. Yeah, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Uh let's see here. Nick in Omaha rights and he says,
Speaker 1: who was your childhood sports hero? Did you ever meet them? Yes? Nick,
Speaker 1: in fact, this is very bizarre. But I got started
Speaker 1: in the business when I was nineteen years old. So
Speaker 1: I got into radio when I was nineteen, and I
Speaker 1: got a pretty big break kind of early. I got
Speaker 1: hired by the Mighty six ninety in San Diego to
Speaker 1: be their roaming radio stringer, which was a cool job,
Speaker 1: and it was a job that didn't pay a lot,
Speaker 1: but I got to go to games every night, Like
Speaker 1: I'd go to the you know, Angels, Dodgers, Lakers, Clippers, Kings,
Speaker 1: and then the Ducks do some of that stuff too.
Speaker 1: So I was on out of game every night, USC football,
Speaker 1: U c l A Basketball, I kind of stuff. But
Speaker 1: when I first started was nineteen, so you know, six
Speaker 1: years earlier, I was thirteen, or you know, seven years
Speaker 1: I was twelve, and a lot of those guys were
Speaker 1: still playing, and so I remember, like the people I
Speaker 1: looked up to, like Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan's and
Speaker 1: all this. And Reggie Jackson. Now Reggie wasn't playing, but
Speaker 1: he was broadcasting, and so I got to meet him.
Speaker 1: He was my big baseball He was read Mr October.
Speaker 1: Reggie Jackson. I loved the swagger and all that stuff,
Speaker 1: and I got to meet him, and uh, it was
Speaker 1: very weird, though. It was like surreal because when you're
Speaker 1: through the eyes of a child, you look at these
Speaker 1: people as these unbelievable, bigger than life people, and then
Speaker 1: you meet them and you know they they fart and
Speaker 1: do stuff that we all do. You know, it's very
Speaker 1: it's very weird. I remember one time Kirby Puckett, the
Speaker 1: late great Kirby Puckett in the Uh in the locker
Speaker 1: and they were playing like a game of marbles. How
Speaker 1: about that. That's a long time ago. I don't think
Speaker 1: they play marbles anymore, but they were betting on it
Speaker 1: in the Twins locker room and uh, Kirby and I
Speaker 1: was a fan of his. I love because he was
Speaker 1: very diminutive for the Twinkies, Kirby Puckett back in the day,
Speaker 1: and he was you know he was the round mound
Speaker 1: of baseball town. And but he remember he came up
Speaker 1: to me because I was like, I was very fat
Speaker 1: at this time and massive, and he was like blown
Speaker 1: away by how big I was and uh and he
Speaker 1: was cracking jokes with the guys on the Twins. And
Speaker 1: I remember because it was I was like, wow, this
Speaker 1: guy used to I remember watching him in the World
Speaker 1: Series and now making this great play in center field
Speaker 1: for the Twins. And now he's making he's making derogatory
Speaker 1: comments about me, how great is my life? But I
Speaker 1: mean there's a bunch of little stories like that that
Speaker 1: that are kind of cool. But what about you? Gascon
Speaker 1: and he and he asked me Eric and omaha, but
Speaker 1: did you ever or Nick and olmah brother, did you
Speaker 1: ever meet anybody that you was a hero of yours
Speaker 1: as a kid. Yeah, I've only met one um when
Speaker 1: I was a kid, I mean across the platform football, basketball, baseball,
Speaker 1: and hockey. But I've met Gretzky once. Um. Actually no
Speaker 1: strike that I met him twice. The one time I
Speaker 1: didn't meet him was on a real sour note. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you you've ever saw I think it
Speaker 1: was Superman too, and that's very sour Superman too. Listen, well,
Speaker 1: Christopher Reeve as Superman comes down with a virus or
Speaker 1: like they called a cold. Was it the coronavirus? I
Speaker 1: don't know, because he survived um and he gets this
Speaker 1: vicious twelve o'clock shodow. He just turns into a bad guy.
Speaker 1: I bring that up because the last time I saw Gretzky,
Speaker 1: it was at the Venetian Hotel and he was playing
Speaker 1: blackjack with his agent and a buddy mine saw him,
Speaker 1: and so he said, you should go play at the
Speaker 1: same table with Gretzky. So I sat down. I was
Speaker 1: playing with him and Ben. He just had stacks of chips,
Speaker 1: but he was losing his ass. It was hand after
Speaker 1: hand after hand. My buddy over my shoulders, like, hey,
Speaker 1: that's a great one. And he heard him and he
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, not so great anymore. And he proceeded
Speaker 1: just to continue to lose his ass. He walked away.
Speaker 1: He had stacks of chips, watched away. There was nothing
Speaker 1: left in his in his tank. So I had a
Speaker 1: chance meet him once as an adult, once as a
Speaker 1: kid um, but never had the chance to meet meet
Speaker 1: John Elway. He was he was my favorite growing up.
Speaker 1: I was like, you like Barkley. I liked her Schizer
Speaker 1: and sosha Um, but never had a chance to meet
Speaker 1: to meet John l A. I had a moment with Barkley.
Speaker 1: I love Barkley and I had a moment when he
Speaker 1: was playing at the end of his career and it
Speaker 1: was at the l A Line I think it was
Speaker 1: actually so it's twenty one years ago. It was the
Speaker 1: last year of State of Sports Arena before Staples Center,
Speaker 1: and so it was like they were talking about the
Speaker 1: final year of the NBA, and so they wanted me
Speaker 1: to get sound bites to these guys. So I this
Speaker 1: was a viral moment before the Internet really took over.
Speaker 1: And I asked Barkley, I said, hey, you have any
Speaker 1: fond memories of the l A Sports Arena, And he
Speaker 1: proceeded to tell me that he he would like to
Speaker 1: be there when they detonate the explosives in the arena
Speaker 1: that could be arranged, which eventually I guess they did
Speaker 1: use a wrecking ball. It did come down, but that
Speaker 1: was a long time after the the arena. I remember
Speaker 1: one time when I was a kid, I went to
Speaker 1: a Clippers sixers game when Barkley was a big star
Speaker 1: for the Sixers, you know, and and that asshole got
Speaker 1: ejected in the first quarter. He got two technical fouls,
Speaker 1: you know. And I'm like, oh my go I want
Speaker 1: to see him once a year, and this a hole
Speaker 1: got ejected. I was so piste off. I was so
Speaker 1: bummed up. That's pretty good. You know what a funny story.
Speaker 1: There's a there's this woman she passed away I think
Speaker 1: last year. She went by the name of Boston Donna,
Speaker 1: and she was friends with my my dad and at
Speaker 1: the time, back in the day, as a kid, Boston
Speaker 1: Donna was the stylist, the little stylist for the Lakers
Speaker 1: and Kings players. So she cut everybody's hair like owners, general, managers, players,
Speaker 1: And that meant as a stylist, you knew dirt on
Speaker 1: fucking everybody. Uh my first come to Jesus moment. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you remember, at the Form Club, which
Speaker 1: is in the middle portion of the Great Western Forum,
Speaker 1: debauchery took place. Yes, yes, a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of it. Well, my dad and mom were there for
Speaker 1: a King's game. They took me as a kid into
Speaker 1: the Form Club and Boston Donna went rogue. She went
Speaker 1: in front of my parents to Bruce mcnal, who was
Speaker 1: the former general manager of the l A Kings but
Speaker 1: went to prison for on the owner, yeah, general owner, yeah,
Speaker 1: so on on federal charges. He went away, but she
Speaker 1: called him out on all that stuff. She's like, I
Speaker 1: know about you, motherfucker. You're a crook, you're a thief,
Speaker 1: you're a steel all the and I you know, I'm
Speaker 1: eight years old. I had no idea what's up from
Speaker 1: down and she was calling him out before any of
Speaker 1: the stuff transpired. But this is the year that he
Speaker 1: acquired Gretzky from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for some
Speaker 1: cash and some players. And obviously that cash was not
Speaker 1: is but he was an embezzling, like the whole nine yards, right,
Speaker 1: this is the guy that went to federal prison. Uh,
Speaker 1: you have five six, seven years later and she called
Speaker 1: him out in the mid eighties. So it was a
Speaker 1: pretty wild time that was. That was a fascinating moment
Speaker 1: as a youth at the Form club. Yeah, well, did
Speaker 1: you know have you heard the Bruce mcnal stories when
Speaker 1: he went to jail. No, these are legendari these are
Speaker 1: part of l A Sports legends. So Bruce mcnaal, everyone
Speaker 1: loved him. Yeah, he was really loved him. He had
Speaker 1: a big personality and he was very social and everyone
Speaker 1: could not say good things about if you knew this guy,
Speaker 1: he treated you well. He spoiled everybody, um, and so
Speaker 1: people loved him. And then when he went to jail,
Speaker 1: he was It is the definition of club fet you know,
Speaker 1: like the good fellows were all cooking a nice meals
Speaker 1: and there lobster and so the story was on the
Speaker 1: weekends they'd have these softball games at the jail that
Speaker 1: Bruce mcnal was. I think it was near Santa Barbara,
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly. They used to know all the details.
Speaker 1: Over time, I've forgotten them, um, but it was I
Speaker 1: think one of the Santa Barbara and a lot of
Speaker 1: the celebrities that would go to the keys games would
Speaker 1: go hang out at the jail to watch Bruce McNall
Speaker 1: play in the celebrity softball games. Hand to god and uh.
Speaker 1: It was such a relaxed environment because it was you know,
Speaker 1: white collar criminal and all that stuff. And the stories
Speaker 1: I heard, obviously they were second hand. I never went,
Speaker 1: but then they were legendary stories. Legendaries, and you imagine
Speaker 1: you're at a prison softball game and there's all these
Speaker 1: Hollywood starts. Yeah, because what do they say in good Fellas?
Speaker 1: Like you went away to get away from your wife?
Speaker 1: That's what? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I love good I
Speaker 1: heard good Fellows is back on Netflix. I gotta watch
Speaker 1: it this weekend. I love That's my favorite movie. Good Fellas,
Speaker 1: good Fellas or Casino? Did you like Casino too? No,
Speaker 1: I'm good Fellas, Goo, good fellow I gotta watch Casino.
Speaker 1: I haven't watched that in a long time. I gotta
Speaker 1: check that out. But good Fellas is the all time great.
Speaker 1: Eric and Omaha, we went back to back, belly to belly.
Speaker 1: People from Omaha that loved the fifth Hour. By the way,
Speaker 1: my old boss, the great Mike Thompson, program director extraordinaire
Speaker 1: of the Big Sports talk station in Omaha, Nebraska. How
Speaker 1: about that, my old boss running things in Omaha's true story?
Speaker 1: All right, if you had a time machine, what decade
Speaker 1: in the nineteen hundreds did you go back and live in?
Speaker 1: That's from Eric in Omaha. Well, Eric, there's two ways
Speaker 1: I will answer this. Number One, from a sports standpoint,
Speaker 1: I think it would be kind of cool to see
Speaker 1: the legendary Babe Ruth play for the Yankees. So that
Speaker 1: would be in New York. But from a financial standpoint,
Speaker 1: I would like to live in Los Angeles in the
Speaker 1: early nineteen hundreds of San Francisco and by real estate.
Speaker 1: All right, that's what I would like to do because
Speaker 1: that would lead to tremendous wealth for future generations. What
Speaker 1: about you guess, Gunn Yeah, I'm thinking seventies or eighties
Speaker 1: would be en seventies or eighties, you know, No, I'm
Speaker 1: talking about early nineteen hundreds. Week in real estate was
Speaker 1: cheap still, well, real estate was cheap in the seventies
Speaker 1: and eighties, but not as cheap as it wasn't like
Speaker 1: the thirties. But you gotta go through the depression. And
Speaker 1: you also had to go through the wars too, the
Speaker 1: Wars the Crimal But have you bought my My grandfather
Speaker 1: had a chance to buy a bunch of land in
Speaker 1: the sand San Fernando Valley because nobody wanted to live
Speaker 1: there and it was nothing, it was farmland, and he
Speaker 1: didn't do it. And now I drive through the San
Speaker 1: Fernando Valley in l A. It's like you gotta be
Speaker 1: freaking kidding me. You know this is the whole family
Speaker 1: would have generational wealth if he had done that. I'm
Speaker 1: seventies or eighties. Man, I couldn't go that far back.
Speaker 1: Oh please, it's it's a hypothetical question, dummy. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: want to go that far back, all right. Jason in
Speaker 1: Tampa says, after listening to your podcast, I must truly
Speaker 1: say Rob Manford and gag On have one major thing
Speaker 1: in common. They are both truly full of shit and
Speaker 1: live in their own reality and don't have a clue
Speaker 1: what is really going on around them. Your thoughts, Oh,
Speaker 1: that's just well. Put where's he from again? Tampa? FLOORA
Speaker 1: Jason and TAMAI you go to Florida. Maybe you can
Speaker 1: visit Jason, have a lunch with him. There's a there's
Speaker 1: an awesome hotel. Uh, speaking of Tampa, he can actually
Speaker 1: attest to this. It's in St. Petersburg called the Donces
Speaker 1: Are it is you spoke about good Fellas, Ben, This
Speaker 1: hotel is is straight out of good Fellas or Casino.
Speaker 1: It's it's pink with white lining around the overall hotel
Speaker 1: and the beaches there the sand is solid white. It's
Speaker 1: absolutely gorgeous, But yeah, the don cs Are Hotel in St.
Speaker 1: Petersburg and Ben that was the That was the spot
Speaker 1: where my bosses would go all the time. And if
Speaker 1: you ever get a chance to go down to Tampa,
Speaker 1: I would highly recommend if you you and the missles go,
Speaker 1: or if you go down there to watch a raised
Speaker 1: game with your boy Blake snell Um, No, what the
Speaker 1: funk is he talking about? Like, I don't have a
Speaker 1: clue a clue about what? Like what is her referencing?
Speaker 1: I can try to touch with society much like Rob Manford.
Speaker 1: You want me to interpret what Jason is saying. Moron
Speaker 1: members out of touch with the common man. The common
Speaker 1: sports fan thinks the astros should be punished. I think
Speaker 1: you think those players should be actually be banned. I
Speaker 1: think the two titles between Houston and Boston should be
Speaker 1: vacated and nobody should have gotten them in two thousand.
Speaker 1: So Jason saying that Rob Manford's out of touch with
Speaker 1: the populace, you're also out of touch with the Mallem militia.
Speaker 1: You don't relate to the common man. So it's different.
Speaker 1: But it's because you west of the four fun I
Speaker 1: get paid peanuts just like they do. There's only you're not.
Speaker 1: You know, you're dealing with people that have hard working jobs,
Speaker 1: blue collar jobs. Most of them don't relate to these people,
Speaker 1: so do I. It is very blue collar to do
Speaker 1: the ship that I do for you, for the network
Speaker 1: and for other platforms that because I do it all
Speaker 1: by myself. All right, Moving on Kohlie in Round Rock
Speaker 1: right San, he says, with toilet paper being completely bought
Speaker 1: out by paranoid masses at Costco, what would your go
Speaker 1: to be for backdoor maintenance? And he says, a sock, cat,
Speaker 1: et cetera, some cold, well cold. That's a great question.
Speaker 1: I often think about what do you do if you
Speaker 1: run out of toilet paper? What do you do? Um,
Speaker 1: there's several options. You could obviously just use your hand
Speaker 1: and then wash your hand really good. That would be
Speaker 1: rather disgusting. I think I'd go old school gascon number two.
Speaker 1: I would use leaves, because it wasn't that the original
Speaker 1: toilet paper? Yeah? Yeah, so I think I would go
Speaker 1: with a nice But you gotta make sure the leaf
Speaker 1: is just freshly pulled off the tree, right. You don't
Speaker 1: want to use a leaf that's been laying on the
Speaker 1: ground for a while because that's on sanitary if you
Speaker 1: get poison ivy, yeah, you would like that free. Could
Speaker 1: you imagine that? By the way, where is your defecated
Speaker 1: underwear at these days? Uh, you know it's been washed
Speaker 1: and you know clean. And I had a couple of
Speaker 1: people that responded to me, men and women, that said
Speaker 1: that they related to your your misfortune about the pants. Yes,
Speaker 1: that was wild. It's uh see, I'm not alone. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of people that don't talk about See. I
Speaker 1: made the mistake of talking about it, and I compromised
Speaker 1: myself by talking about it. But yeah, it's a it
Speaker 1: is a great story. You figure most people after ship
Speaker 1: at least a couple of times a day, at least
Speaker 1: once a day. So if you do the math and
Speaker 1: you look at how many people live in the world,
Speaker 1: you know, something goes haywire. You know, something goes something
Speaker 1: from a job inside there. The timing is all wrong
Speaker 1: and uh, you know you have an accent. It happens.
Speaker 1: You gotta use it. Yeah, you gotta use leaves. You
Speaker 1: gotta if you don't have if you don't have any
Speaker 1: other supplies. Ricky, Ricky and Beantown Rights and He says,
Speaker 1: have you enjoyed a nice Asian massage parlor? Ricky, I
Speaker 1: think we've had this question needed on the show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well last week we had it. All right, So Ricky,
Speaker 1: we had this last week and no. Yeah. J from Scottsville,
Speaker 1: Kentucky rights in a great place on God's green Earth.
Speaker 1: He says, if you blinked and when you open your eyes,
Speaker 1: you were in a new career unrelated to radio. What
Speaker 1: job do you see yourself in? All right, well, thank you, Jay.
Speaker 1: I see myself as a podcaster. That's what I see myself.
Speaker 1: Uh No, listen. I wonder like what would have happened
Speaker 1: if I hadn't made it in radio, if I hadn't
Speaker 1: been able to get a job and keep a job
Speaker 1: for a while, Like what would I do? And I
Speaker 1: I've I've often said I think I could push the
Speaker 1: shopping carts at Costco. I think I could work at
Speaker 1: Costco behind the scenes there. I think that would be
Speaker 1: a a job that I would enjoy. But as far
Speaker 1: as like other jobs, I've been an amateur lawyer. I've
Speaker 1: been an amateur lawyer on the radio. So I think
Speaker 1: practicing law on getting into a heated legal argument, would
Speaker 1: be fun. I think that would be good. I'm also
Speaker 1: interested in real estate and investing in real estate and
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, so I think that would be interesting.
Speaker 1: You know, so that that kind of stuff. What about you,
Speaker 1: guess I've always said this, um waking up, I would
Speaker 1: say I am a hospitality executive. I love hotels, Ben.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's because of Vegas. I'd go
Speaker 1: when I was a teenager to where I'm at now.
Speaker 1: But I love hotels like the w Hotel here in
Speaker 1: l a Um, the Langham Hotel in Pasadena. It's old school. No,
Speaker 1: they're in Los Angeles. Who cares? I just mentioned the dances.
Speaker 1: Are you think about the MGM Hotel in Vegas, the Venetian,
Speaker 1: the Bellagio. I love hotels. I think it's fascinating that
Speaker 1: you can take care of people just to get them
Speaker 1: away from their everyday live You mentioned sports why the
Speaker 1: beds usually suck? And I've been to hotels people leave
Speaker 1: ship in the rule, they don't clean the room properly.
Speaker 1: I want. I stayed at hotel in Vegas one time
Speaker 1: and there's somebody's driver's license and UH was in the room.
Speaker 1: They left their driver's license, and they're like, was there
Speaker 1: cocaine on a license? I don't. I don't know about that.
Speaker 1: I stay at the Cosmopolitan in Vegas a few years ago. Open.
Speaker 1: I have this standard operating procedure when I check in,
Speaker 1: I under the bed, opened up the sheets and there
Speaker 1: was a used condim and it it was pretty good.
Speaker 1: Was it yours? No? It was not mine. I just
Speaker 1: got in there, dummy. I like hotels, man, I like
Speaker 1: you made that very clear that ULI hotels. You don't
Speaker 1: need to repeat yourself. It's it's fine, we we do that.
Speaker 1: You would work at a hotel, is what you're saying now.
Speaker 1: I'd be an executive, like designing hotels and and building
Speaker 1: across the world. I'd love to do something like that,
Speaker 1: like a brand. Brian from north Bridge in Massachusetts. North
Speaker 1: Bridge from mass Right, Cindy says, been seeing that gascon
Speaker 1: proves how awful he is in every podcast. Do you
Speaker 1: think that I Heart Media is trying to savogage you? Also?
Speaker 1: Do you think he actually gagged while trying to advance
Speaker 1: his career. That's from Brian. I don't know the second
Speaker 1: part of that, but it has been whispered in hush
Speaker 1: tones that gascon Is, but he's been placed to derail
Speaker 1: my career, that he has been put in there to
Speaker 1: bring me down. No, No, I have actually said that
Speaker 1: to you via text, I think a couple of times,
Speaker 1: like I am here to try to derail your show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you are. You have man handled many a great show,
Speaker 1: that's true. I mean there's no you have people here
Speaker 1: in the building that can oppose my will so um, ironically,
Speaker 1: you don't have a lot of manhood, but you have
Speaker 1: made the man handle your Christmas parties anyway. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he showed up late and complained the food was cold
Speaker 1: when it was hot, when everyone else ate the food.
Speaker 1: I remember that. And then you you're like on the
Speaker 1: prowl at the at the party. There nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 1: Control yourself, Dan and Kalamazoo Rights. In Beautiful Calamazoo, he says,
Speaker 1: does Gagon get his creatine from Ashley Manning? I mean
Speaker 1: Chelsea Manning, fucking idiot? No, I think he's referring to
Speaker 1: ash Manning, which is Peyton Manning's wife. Oh, I think
Speaker 1: with the other way, Yeahsie, you're actually more relatable to
Speaker 1: the other any other Manning. You're an idiot. I got
Speaker 1: you well, you brought that up. I didn't bring it up.
Speaker 1: What's any thoughts on that? Get Where do you get
Speaker 1: your creating? How much does Create Team cost these days?
Speaker 1: I bought some Create Team for fifty dollars, but the
Speaker 1: servings it's just one table spoon and it's not enough.
Speaker 1: You want on the costco of creating. That's actually what
Speaker 1: it is. It's it's good for like sixty days or
Speaker 1: something like that. So are you a crusader to celebrate
Speaker 1: the virtues of creating? No? But Mark McGuire circle, No,
Speaker 1: I did do Andrew when they were on that home
Speaker 1: run spree. That actually got me into doing Andrew like
Speaker 1: him Sosa. Shannon Sharp was a big spokesman for e S.
Speaker 1: I remember that. Yeah, yeah, I did all that stuff
Speaker 1: back and then I mean it's like monkey see monkey
Speaker 1: do And I try to emulate Sharp when I played ball. Also,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I told you this last week. Just
Speaker 1: the age and like getting old and your muscle, you
Speaker 1: really try to you still try to emulate the way
Speaker 1: you talk. You still emulate Shannon Sharp. What do you
Speaker 1: trying to say? Like, I don't I sound like him
Speaker 1: when I talked? Yeah, you sound a little like you
Speaker 1: have the same cadence is him? You know, I do
Speaker 1: not definitely do that. Have you? Have you gone back
Speaker 1: and watched our tape when I call that beautiful performance
Speaker 1: was centennial and Jay Sarah, Oh the seventy thousand and
Speaker 1: nothing score that, Yes, it was swept away by the
Speaker 1: garbage time programming that we had. The game was a
Speaker 1: blowout and we got all your bits in the second half.
Speaker 1: So yeah, the only people watching were the mallam militia people.
Speaker 1: That was it. They only want watching anyway. Moving on here,
Speaker 1: let's see what do we have here? More questions? This
Speaker 1: is the grab bag, A lot of questions from people
Speaker 1: like yourself. Uh, here's one. Are you wearing a face
Speaker 1: mask when you go to Costco? This is some Richie
Speaker 1: the Boston guy. He says, are you gonna we're wearing
Speaker 1: a face mask at Costco this weekend? If you are,
Speaker 1: are you bringing the free samples home or eating them
Speaker 1: in the car? Now? Let me tell you something, Richie.
Speaker 1: I am a dare devil. I'm a thrill seeker, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonn adrenaline junkie. Do you understand that? So it
Speaker 1: is I will go to Costco, I will walk around.
Speaker 1: It's like swimming with great white sharks in South Africa.
Speaker 1: When you go to Costco with a coronavirus, I will
Speaker 1: be doing that, just like running with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain,
Speaker 1: or driving two hundred miles an hour in the Autobahn
Speaker 1: in Germany going to Costco. But I'm not gonna wear
Speaker 1: a mask, and I'm gonna I think it's even better
Speaker 1: now because people don't want to go to Costco because
Speaker 1: they're afraid of the coronavirus, which means more samples for me,
Speaker 1: more samples for me. Don't be such a fat ass.
Speaker 1: It's my tradition. You can't get fat eating samples at
Speaker 1: Costco PA. Yes, yes, you can't. Alright anyway, what else? Uh?
Speaker 1: Here's another one from day and in Kalamazoo who wrote
Speaker 1: and he says, are you prepared for a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks of quarantine if need be? That's from Dan Oh
Speaker 1: absolutely not no, no, no, uh and not prepared at all.
Speaker 1: But you know you can figure out. You'll be fun.
Speaker 1: You are prepared because you get you have sick days,
Speaker 1: you have vacation days, you have camp days, you have
Speaker 1: all you have a plethora of days. That you can
Speaker 1: take off from work. Well, I don't need to take
Speaker 1: days so I can do the show from the Mallard mansion.
Speaker 1: I have to so I don't have to take any
Speaker 1: days off. Very relatable, Ben, that is very relatable. Steve
Speaker 1: Harvey relates to me, Rush Limbaugh does the show from
Speaker 1: his house. Very relatable. You know what's relatable as the
Speaker 1: figures that they make seven eight nine figures. And Ben
Speaker 1: Mallory yeaut there elite uh amilia no from west side
Speaker 1: of St. Paul, Minnesota. Right. So he says, question is
Speaker 1: for everybody there, and it's actually about Roberto. But I
Speaker 1: guess we can answer it. Hold on a second, my
Speaker 1: headphones came looser, kill yourself, kill yourself a little bit there. Well,
Speaker 1: what do you think? What's the name last a couple
Speaker 1: of days ago? The gambler? Um, what's the one that
Speaker 1: was threatening everybody with this dull knife? Oh? The guy
Speaker 1: Parley Pat Pats kill yourself jesus. Yeah, well there you guys,
Speaker 1: snap my headphones back here. Anyway, Ameliana says, we're Roberto
Speaker 1: too scared to enter the verbal octagon with Chris in Houston.
Speaker 1: He seemed shocked when Chris called him out as a
Speaker 1: little snowflake over blowing him up, hanging up on him,
Speaker 1: and was tongue tied. And then he says, will Roberto
Speaker 1: pull a whoopie pie Blair and no show versus Marcel?
Speaker 1: So yeah, I remember that Chris went a tack dog.
Speaker 1: He went piranha on Roberto, and uh, Roberto could have
Speaker 1: handled that a little bit better. But I would take
Speaker 1: Roberto over Chris because Roberto has the power of fading
Speaker 1: down Chris. So Chris would not get a word in edgewise,
Speaker 1: and it would be an advantage. He might be able
Speaker 1: to maybe poke the nose of of Roberto, but in
Speaker 1: the end Roberto would come back with enough haymakers that
Speaker 1: Chris would be marginalized. He's just not good content, Like,
Speaker 1: why would you put that guy? I'd rather have Marcel
Speaker 1: on the air than than than Chris and Hughes, this
Speaker 1: is not helpful. Now you're just inspiring him to now
Speaker 1: harass you more. He's not gonna He's not harassing me.
Speaker 1: I don't even pay attention to that bug, all right?
Speaker 1: Moving on, Carlos in Houston writes and he says, I
Speaker 1: don't normally ask sports questions, are you guys liking the
Speaker 1: new Rockets small ball lineup. Well, you know, Carlos, it
Speaker 1: goes against my DNA to say anything a negative or
Speaker 1: well actually anything positive about Houston and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: But I actually do like the small ball because it's
Speaker 1: a version of a D'Antoni system. I was a big
Speaker 1: fan of the Mike D'Antoni system with the Sons. I
Speaker 1: love the way the Sun's played when they had Steve
Speaker 1: Nash and Mari Stottomeyer and the Matrix Sean Mary and
Speaker 1: I love those teams. They were fun to watch. They
Speaker 1: were entertaining. You penetrate your pass, you shoot all that
Speaker 1: flying around the court. It was awesome. And I we've
Speaker 1: got away from that. I know now it's just a
Speaker 1: jump shooting consists like a Papa shot uh in the NBA.
Speaker 1: But the way I'll answers, do I like it? Yes,
Speaker 1: I absolutely like the way that the Rockets are playing.
Speaker 1: There's no question about it. Will it work? No, it
Speaker 1: will not work. They can It's not a sustainable thing.
Speaker 1: They're not gonna be able to win a championship playing
Speaker 1: that style of play. Uh, And they would have to
Speaker 1: break the norms of the NBA to do it. I
Speaker 1: don't see them doing it because I believe ultimately the playoffs,
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook will be a liability lat in games. James
Speaker 1: Harden normally takes one game off in playoff series or
Speaker 1: a half off in a in a key game and
Speaker 1: derails you. But as far as from an entertainment standpoint,
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely, it's great. And they're gonna get killed rebounding wise,
Speaker 1: they better make all their shots. Um, but we'll see
Speaker 1: you down the line. But it's it's unorthodox, but it's fun.
Speaker 1: I would like to see them in a playoff series
Speaker 1: against Dallas. I think that would be a lot of
Speaker 1: fun because you got Luka don Chich and you've got
Speaker 1: porzingists that can shoot from the outside. And like you mentioned,
Speaker 1: the best thing is is Russell Westbrook is such a
Speaker 1: loose cannon that he can get forty on any given night.
Speaker 1: He'll go for forty and ten and ten, or he
Speaker 1: can go three or thirty from the field and James
Speaker 1: Harden won't touch the rock. That's the best part about
Speaker 1: watching Russell Westbrook play the game of basketball is that
Speaker 1: he can win it for you or he can absolutely
Speaker 1: just kill you. He can go vintage, he can go
Speaker 1: a vintage Kobe Bryant the two thousand four NBA Finals,
Speaker 1: just shoot you out of the series. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: that's the way he's. He's eventually will spiral out of
Speaker 1: control at some point and just undisciplined. And that's good
Speaker 1: for us because when he when he is unrestrained, and
Speaker 1: it makes for great monologues. And I look forward to
Speaker 1: doing those monologues. I've done him every year, and I
Speaker 1: can write a book on how to do a Russell
Speaker 1: Westbrook is out of control, careless with the basketball and
Speaker 1: hurts his team. But but again, Carlos, I like the
Speaker 1: way I like in theory of it, I like their execution.
Speaker 1: Probably will not, I will not work study this. You
Speaker 1: want to do some study, Yes, yes, let's do it,
Speaker 1: all right. A survey what percentage of Americans would turn
Speaker 1: down a free cruise because of the concerns over the coronavirus.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, Hi, I'll go like se right now,
Speaker 1: So you think seventy three of Americans would say I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give you a feel, I'll give you a free
Speaker 1: cruise to the Bahamas. And you're like, I'm good, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't need it. Well, you're actually right, in the
Speaker 1: ballpark where you need to be. According to the survey,
Speaker 1: two thirds two thirds of Americans would turn down a
Speaker 1: free cruise because they're freaked out by the coronavirus. We
Speaker 1: have a friend who's on a cruise right now. That's right,
Speaker 1: Rob Parker's on the Golden Girls cruise. Yeah, did you
Speaker 1: see the video he posted of they had a contest,
Speaker 1: the dance off contest on the Golden Girls cruise. They
Speaker 1: were it's the yea the Best Rose contest and robson
Speaker 1: a photo from this. It's wild, man, it is crazy.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's worst. The videos are the fact
Speaker 1: that he posted a picture with his six d dollar
Speaker 1: Gucci shoes on that he was happy that he got
Speaker 1: at a discounted rate, which were like a thousand dollars
Speaker 1: that said Gucci on them. Yeah. And I think it
Speaker 1: was justin in Cincinnati that pointed out that Rob is
Speaker 1: actually cheaper than I am. Like. He will go to
Speaker 1: Ross Dress for Less, which is I like Cross. I
Speaker 1: actually have shopped there before as well. But it's a
Speaker 1: great scavenger hunt when you go to Ross Dress for Less.
Speaker 1: But he will like brag about getting a shirt for
Speaker 1: one used to be seventy bucks or something. He will
Speaker 1: because our building is right next to a poil loco.
Speaker 1: He wears the chicken. Yeah, he will keep a cut
Speaker 1: from a poil loco, just to return the same day
Speaker 1: or the next day and ren yes, no, no, yes, Wow,
Speaker 1: that's a boss move man. He should write a book.
Speaker 1: That's great, man. That makes me seem like a very
Speaker 1: unfrugal person. I don't think I've ever done that. I
Speaker 1: don't recall every doing something as radunculous as that. That's great. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've never been on a cruise. I know some people
Speaker 1: say you should do it. Would be great, you have
Speaker 1: a good time. My wife would like to do it.
Speaker 1: But I'm good. I got food on a cruise once. Congratulations,
Speaker 1: you want a cookie? No, I just cruises. You're just confined,
Speaker 1: so it sucks and you get sick. Anything happens, you're
Speaker 1: you're fucked. All right, Here we go. A new survey
Speaker 1: says blank percent of Americans are avoiding corona beers because
Speaker 1: of fears of the coronavirus. For fox sake. Um, you
Speaker 1: said two thirds before, so I'll say a third. I'll
Speaker 1: say like close again, but not quite right. The answer
Speaker 1: is thirty eight percent. Thirty According to a new study,
Speaker 1: thirty percent of Americans are not drinking as much Corona
Speaker 1: beer because they're freaked out by the they got the
Speaker 1: heebie gs of the coronavirus. Boy, So does that mean
Speaker 1: that thirty eight percent of people are just complete Neanderthal morons?
Speaker 1: Is that what that means? Yes? Well, I guess the
Speaker 1: other question then, is if you're not drinking Corona beer,
Speaker 1: what would your alternative be to that? For Mexican beer? Like,
Speaker 1: would you go to Cote? Well, that's the only other
Speaker 1: Mexican beer I really know, So I think you'd have
Speaker 1: to get to Cote. But what kind of primitive, unrefined
Speaker 1: people are living amongst us here? Like were they raised
Speaker 1: by wolves or something like that? Were they born in
Speaker 1: a barn? Gascon that they're Like, I think I can
Speaker 1: get the coronavirus from a Corona beer with the lime,
Speaker 1: you know? Alright? Another one, Americans are spending more for
Speaker 1: more for treatment on blank ailments than any other conditions,
Speaker 1: according to the research from the US Healthcare Data. So
Speaker 1: we're looking for problems that human beings have with their
Speaker 1: body that they spend the most money on per year.
Speaker 1: God my first thing. My first inclination would be mental
Speaker 1: to the mental, not mental like physical, like mental physical situation. Okay, um,
Speaker 1: right now like hands to to to to, Oh, your
Speaker 1: time is up and say hey, hands kind of but
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna give you credit for that. Americans are
Speaker 1: spending more on treatment for spinal issues and joint pain
Speaker 1: ailments than any other condition. According to the US Health data,
Speaker 1: it's neck and lower back pain is the main one. Uh.
Speaker 1: This the latest data they have is from and the
Speaker 1: amount of money spent on spinal issues and joint pain.
Speaker 1: Are you ready for this, guest, guy, painful, you're sitting
Speaker 1: down three hundred and eighty billion dollars three eight billion
Speaker 1: dollars now according to this study, they point out that
Speaker 1: that breaks down to almost ten thousand dollars for every man, woman,
Speaker 1: and child who is a citizen in the United States.
Speaker 1: It is roughly eighteen of the US grows to stick
Speaker 1: product all right for back pain and uh, and you know,
Speaker 1: spinal issues and all that and and joint pain. An't
Speaker 1: that crazy? It is? Now? I think do you think
Speaker 1: part of that's attributed to the fact that a lot
Speaker 1: of us have a sedentary jobs or sitting down a lot,
Speaker 1: or drivers that are sitting in traffic a lot, or
Speaker 1: commuting for far distances. Yeah, I'm sure that's part of it.
Speaker 1: And people don't move. You gotta keep your body moving
Speaker 1: right as long as you can. You gotta keep body
Speaker 1: in motion, stays in motion. That's what I learned as
Speaker 1: a kids. Plus, like when you're sitting so much, your
Speaker 1: your legs, your hamstrings, and your quads get so tight.
Speaker 1: It leads to your hip flex series and it leads
Speaker 1: to the back. And the stress for for all of
Speaker 1: us is like upper chest and upper back, so the neck.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean I think the same thing
Speaker 1: too with with the joints. When you talk about your
Speaker 1: hands and elbows, just over usage. See you get on
Speaker 1: then get on creatine. Then I think I need to
Speaker 1: get on creatine. That that will change my life in
Speaker 1: amazing ways. Maybe do you have scoliosis? Uh? Do I
Speaker 1: have scoliosis? No? I didn't have sculios. Do you I do? Yeah, scoliosis.
Speaker 1: I found that out five years ago actually because of
Speaker 1: working at Fox Sports Radio. I had back pain working
Speaker 1: on one of your shows and went to the doctor
Speaker 1: the very next day. Old let me get my and
Speaker 1: he he did an X ray and he says, oh,
Speaker 1: you've got scoliosis. I said, oh, what the fund? Should
Speaker 1: I have been diagnosed with this when I was a kid.
Speaker 1: He says, no, it's probably something from from playing your
Speaker 1: playing days or or driving too much. And yeah, it
Speaker 1: was all stem from working on your show. Put a coincidence. Yeah,
Speaker 1: are you done? Yeah, I'm done. I'm here for you.
Speaker 1: So what else can I do for you? Ben Malley?
Speaker 1: All right, here's another fun study doing study this real
Speaker 1: or bullshit? Who knew, Gascan that you are like a
Speaker 1: dog that sexual scent that man can smell when a
Speaker 1: woman is aroused? How about that? I did not study.
Speaker 1: I did not know that. I think it's bullshit. Well,
Speaker 1: Kent University though in the UK, they did the survey
Speaker 1: and they said that attraction is conveyed through a number
Speaker 1: of avenues and many have nothing to do with spoken language. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the pheromones, right, whether you're aware of it or not.
Speaker 1: Both men and women's body language often changes ever so
Speaker 1: slightly when we're around someone we find particularly attractive. And
Speaker 1: according to the study, anyone goes into detail here and
Speaker 1: it says that it's not just it's not just obvious,
Speaker 1: sometimes literally. According to study the Nose Nose. The research
Speaker 1: team has concluded that men can smell when a woman
Speaker 1: is turned on. About that, I must not have this ability.
Speaker 1: That must be lacking this ability. Can you go to
Speaker 1: a doc? But I can't turn them on? Clee, And uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know when they're turned on. So maybe I can,
Speaker 1: you know, give me a guide book on that that
Speaker 1: that you know. Of course you don't know even you know. No,
Speaker 1: that's interesting. I was. I was always on an impression
Speaker 1: that it was always the pheromones. So like our body
Speaker 1: hair would trigger women into the physical attraction too. But
Speaker 1: if you don't have any body hair, you can't got
Speaker 1: body hair I want to wear or another Now, I've
Speaker 1: known some people that who is that guy, Charlie Villeneuava.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he didn't have anybody here. And I have
Speaker 1: a guy used to know it was a clipper pr guy.
Speaker 1: Good guy. Uh did not he had that same illness.
Speaker 1: No body here, no no eyebrows, no nothing, nothing completely gone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: bad John him. Anyway, here's another random study. Uh, this
Speaker 1: this one says Instagram fitness posts by the ladies do
Speaker 1: more harm than good for women men's body images. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Instagram is bad for the ladies because the Instagram
Speaker 1: posts that I see from females, like most of the time,
Speaker 1: they're either so lean that you think they're on some
Speaker 1: kind of performance enhancing drug, or there's so fake that
Speaker 1: you're curious as to what they have injected into them,
Speaker 1: like top and bottom ben Oh yeah, yes, don't you
Speaker 1: know that? Or don't you see that? Don't I know that?
Speaker 1: I don't know what's so. I don't think any women
Speaker 1: post photos without spandex on in a gym. I've not
Speaker 1: seen any of os on Instagram. I'm still waiting for
Speaker 1: the first women to post something that's not uh provocative.
Speaker 1: But I've been good for them. Why not? Hey, you
Speaker 1: know it's working. Clearly a bunch of this horn dogs
Speaker 1: are clicking on all that stuff, right, Yeah, but you
Speaker 1: just you look at the body and you just think
Speaker 1: they must have spent close to ten thou dollars on
Speaker 1: on some kind of surgery cosmdics. You know what I
Speaker 1: love is though, when you go around on and I
Speaker 1: see this, everyone want to go out. I don't go
Speaker 1: out of my house much, but you're like the tourist
Speaker 1: area like in l A and the Instagram model. You
Speaker 1: know that's a thing now where they have a people
Speaker 1: with them for lighting and the whole thing. It's like
Speaker 1: some of these things are professional photo shoots for because
Speaker 1: their Instagram influencers and they have half a million followers
Speaker 1: or whatever, you know, five thousand followers, which is filf
Speaker 1: a million. Uh, and then they I just want to
Speaker 1: do the math in my head, guestcount. It's pretty funny.
Speaker 1: It's like when I remember I used to live in
Speaker 1: Hollywood when reality TV became a big deal, and I
Speaker 1: was stopped on Hollywood Boulevard and they were shooting a scene.
Speaker 1: They were crossing the street filming a reality show, and
Speaker 1: the signal took a while, and I just, for some reason,
Speaker 1: I was stuck at the signal and they kept crossing
Speaker 1: the street until they got the right shot. And I
Speaker 1: was like, you know, that's not really yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean you said one take, right. I mean they
Speaker 1: kept doing it until they got the right angle. And
Speaker 1: the people said that what they were supposed to say.
Speaker 1: And it's one of those dopey dating shows. It might
Speaker 1: have been The Bachelor, the original how long has the
Speaker 1: Bachelor been on? There forever? It was a Bachelor Temptation Island.
Speaker 1: It wasn't Temptation Island. Wasn't that fair enough? There was
Speaker 1: that blind? Was it Blind Date? Was that a reality show?
Speaker 1: Remember that one? Yeah? That was all right. According to
Speaker 1: a new survey, what how many in thirty people have
Speaker 1: pooped in the shower? And thirty people, uh, let's have
Speaker 1: admitted to pooping in the show. Oh, I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: this is low. I'll say like, I'll say four out
Speaker 1: of thirty only one one out of thirty people said
Speaker 1: they pooped in the shower. Have you guessed, you know,
Speaker 1: pooped in the shower? I have not, thankfully God, Hannah, God, yes,
Speaker 1: have you in the show? No? I did. Number one
Speaker 1: I have no problem with. But the number two it
Speaker 1: seems Yeah, it's a problematic situation. Yeah, logistically I don't
Speaker 1: know how because if you go at number two, you're
Speaker 1: getting how do you get rid of it? You're gonna
Speaker 1: have to use your hand to pick it up. I
Speaker 1: mean that's a big to do. Or it's even worse
Speaker 1: as if you take a shower, you dry yourself off
Speaker 1: and then you have to take a number two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is that's bad timing, timing on that's not good
Speaker 1: but how about one out of thirty people. That means
Speaker 1: out of a hundred, that's three little over three out
Speaker 1: of a hundred people ship in the shower. Like we
Speaker 1: went from death talk radio to shipping on yourself radio.
Speaker 1: I'd rather do ship radio and death radio. All you
Speaker 1: do it money through Friday. So I think you got
Speaker 1: that base cleared. You think you're funny, I thought, pretty
Speaker 1: damn funny. Yeah, I think it just walked. Don't don't
Speaker 1: pull a muscle patting yourself on the back. Pull a
Speaker 1: muscle patting yourself. Man. Listen, all right, here's a fun study.
Speaker 1: This is you know, we talked about the world we
Speaker 1: live in today as opposed to the world that we
Speaker 1: grew up in, depending if you're at a certain age. Well,
Speaker 1: globally though, does it apply? There was a global study
Speaker 1: done what percentage of people think it is justified for
Speaker 1: a husband to beat his wife? Out of out of
Speaker 1: ten people, how many of the people, according to this
Speaker 1: global research think it's okay for a man to slap
Speaker 1: around his wife in the world. Guess I'm not in America. Obviously, America,
Speaker 1: I would think most people think that's not right. But globally,
Speaker 1: because you brought it up out of ten, I would say, no,
Speaker 1: it's not that high, but I still think it's ridiculously height.
Speaker 1: It's three out of ten, So thirty of people think
Speaker 1: it is allowed for a husband to slap around the wife. There.
Speaker 1: It's a new study done by a operation out of Germany,
Speaker 1: and they conducted data from seventy five countries covered over
Speaker 1: world's population, and three out of tends like slapper around. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's wild man. Yeah, if that ever happened to me,
Speaker 1: I know, I'd been waking up with something from Good Fellas, right,
Speaker 1: like my better half of a gun pointed right at
Speaker 1: my fucking head. But yeah, anything like in some parts
Speaker 1: like that that whole sharial law thing, you know. I
Speaker 1: mean that I guess is you know it's wild, but
Speaker 1: it's crazy that there's that many. A new survey reveals
Speaker 1: that blank percentage of people goof up. I'm not goof up,
Speaker 1: that's the wrong word. They they intentionally mislead on their resume.
Speaker 1: They lie on their resume, uh, and they get caught.
Speaker 1: Seven percent of people lie on the resume and get caught.
Speaker 1: Only seven percent of the people to do this. Have
Speaker 1: have you ever lied on your resume? Unfortunately not. No.
Speaker 1: I feel like if I if I needed to know,
Speaker 1: there's no reason to you, like, the line of work
Speaker 1: that we're in, you can get added right away, and
Speaker 1: there's nothing that we do. There's nothing that we do
Speaker 1: that really put you want to put on a resume anyway,
Speaker 1: because you can't justify your performance for what we do
Speaker 1: on a resume anyway, right Like you can't talk about number. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it doesn't I mean, no, I haven't bollished my resume,
Speaker 1: but I don't think anyone looks at my resume. I
Speaker 1: haven't needed a resume in years anyway, but I needed
Speaker 1: a resume. I had no resume. Now that I have
Speaker 1: a resume, nobody wants my resume. It's all word of mouth.
Speaker 1: It's all these jobs are all passed out by who
Speaker 1: you know, not what you know. Anyway. Last one on
Speaker 1: the study this a new survey found that one in
Speaker 1: four Americans admit they have trouble remembering this. What do
Speaker 1: you think? One in four Americans have trouble remembering, Um,
Speaker 1: there their home telephone number? Dude? Do all most people
Speaker 1: don't even have a home telephone number anymore. So that's dumb.
Speaker 1: It's a bad job by you. One in four Americans
Speaker 1: admit they have trouble remembering their a T M pin.
Speaker 1: Oh they're automatic teller pin. They cannot remember. I'm in
Speaker 1: that group by the one. I think I know what
Speaker 1: it is, but I don't know if I haven't used
Speaker 1: it long a long while. And he don't stick to
Speaker 1: sports stories guests. The only way have any quick ones.
Speaker 1: We can sneak in here. Yeah, camp, this is now
Speaker 1: that the sixth hour. We're into the sixth hour of
Speaker 1: the fifth hour. Yeah, it's a bad job by you. Yeah. Whatever.
Speaker 1: How about this one? A flight was diverted after a
Speaker 1: passenger attempted to open up an exit door in the
Speaker 1: middle of a flight. Did you hear about this? What's
Speaker 1: wrong with that? Uh? No, this is a this is
Speaker 1: a shout out to our buddy. I'm a pilot an
Speaker 1: American Airlines. I'm a pilot guy. Why do you get
Speaker 1: a room with this guy? I think he's a great guy.
Speaker 1: He's got a good personality. He's always uh, he's always positive. Anyways,
Speaker 1: you got you're like weed man, hippie, you got your
Speaker 1: hand out man. No way, you're begging. Act like you've
Speaker 1: been in the end zone. Before I have come. Have
Speaker 1: you seen me at your Christmas parties? Anyways? An American
Speaker 1: airline an American Airlines flight bound for Dallas from Chicago
Speaker 1: was forced to make an emergency landing because a passenger
Speaker 1: actually try to open up an emergency door. Bet here's
Speaker 1: the kicker on this though, is all the latches he
Speaker 1: actually got up. The only reason the door did not
Speaker 1: open was because the pressure from the cabin space did
Speaker 1: not allow it to open up. That's reassuring. Yes, forty
Speaker 1: five minutes into a flight, they had to obviously divert
Speaker 1: the flight and touchdown in St. Louis, Missouri because someone
Speaker 1: obviously tried opening up a flight in midflight of the
Speaker 1: cabin doors. So. I don't know what you would do
Speaker 1: in something like this, but I die because the door
Speaker 1: opens up, You're dead. I'm talking about someone made the
Speaker 1: attempt to open up a cab. Yeah, I would go
Speaker 1: into survival mode and I would take the guy out
Speaker 1: and beat his ass is what I would do. I
Speaker 1: can't see you doing. Did anyone do that? Though? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I would think you're gonna who cares? You're gonna die
Speaker 1: if the guy opens the doors. You might as well
Speaker 1: go vigilante and kick the guy's ass here. Speaking of which,
Speaker 1: this is a great story. This is uh. I know,
Speaker 1: obviously determine whether it's a great story. You will not
Speaker 1: determine this is good for payback? Then? How about that
Speaker 1: a woman? This is in in England, a woman was
Speaker 1: revealed to having swapped drinks with a stranger she suspected
Speaker 1: of trying to spike her drink, before later finding out
Speaker 1: that he was passed out in a puddle. So this
Speaker 1: woman was in a club and she looked away. She
Speaker 1: claimed that drinks between her and a stranger were on
Speaker 1: a on a tabletop and the guy had put something
Speaker 1: in her drink. Later she she shared us on social media.
Speaker 1: But she swapped the drink with the guy when he
Speaker 1: wasn't noticing. And it turned out that the guy who
Speaker 1: was trying to roofy her drank his own poise in
Speaker 1: and landed up in a puddle outside of a club.
Speaker 1: How good is that? That is pretty good? That's a
Speaker 1: that's a solid move by that lady. It's a good
Speaker 1: job by her. Yeah, that's that's good man, especially not
Speaker 1: being too in tune with the elements. I know when
Speaker 1: I go out with gascon I gotta make sure to
Speaker 1: switch the drinks because that guy, let me tell you something,
Speaker 1: he puts crap in drinks. Man, No, no, I try
Speaker 1: to put Rufi's in there. You're an idiot. Your nickname
Speaker 1: is Cosby. That's what you want. Listen, I I do,
Speaker 1: I do need to make a request. Since we're going
Speaker 1: to a bougie event over the weekend. Um my alcohol
Speaker 1: needs to have either one rock or it's neat. Uh.
Speaker 1: I guess we'll buy a round of drinks. You will
Speaker 1: order the most expensive whiskey on the menu. Yes, maybe
Speaker 1: that's good. So I don't want to say what we're
Speaker 1: going to because I might not work out. But then
Speaker 1: next week we'll have recap coverage all have said social event.
Speaker 1: If we do end up at Tenny. Now, keep in
Speaker 1: mind you were not invited to this. I just want
Speaker 1: to point out I I was invited, but to a
Speaker 1: Hollywood of but you were not invited. But but out
Speaker 1: of feeling pity for you, I decided that you are
Speaker 1: such a dope that you need to go to this thing,
Speaker 1: and so I I passed the invitation onto you. But
Speaker 1: you were not invited. Every loss ship needs a lighthouse,
Speaker 1: and Ben Mallory. I I am that lighthouse for you,
Speaker 1: so I will be. But I am your beacon. I
Speaker 1: am your guiding light here, and I do you understand
Speaker 1: that I am your inspiration. I'm the one that gets
Speaker 1: invited to the A list parties. I just never go
Speaker 1: to these things. Like my wife likes to go out,
Speaker 1: so every once in a while, throw a bone. You know,
Speaker 1: we get to go out, throw your wife a bone. Well, no,
Speaker 1: because I get invited to a lot of these things
Speaker 1: that I never go to him because I don't really
Speaker 1: like those. You know that the parties are not my scene.
Speaker 1: It's probably once in a while I'll go. That's probably
Speaker 1: the why you're stuck on the overnight, not the daytime stuff. See,
Speaker 1: I don't look at it as it stuck in the overnight.
Speaker 1: I got more affiliates, I'm cleared everywhere. I love the overnight.
Speaker 1: It's great. Nobody bothers me my own thing. You got
Speaker 1: carte blanche there in the overnight. Al right, guess god,
Speaker 1: thank you very much, and enjoy the weekend. The rest
Speaker 1: of I forgot. Oh my god, I mean, can we
Speaker 1: put the baby? But we can't. We can't remember we
Speaker 1: have the wager. What was what wager? Okay, I will
Speaker 1: refresh the audiences memory or rehash yours anyway, is that? Um,
Speaker 1: the l A rams have a competition going on here
Speaker 1: in the next couple of weeks, I find Oh that's right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: well I don't we can't really get into this, but
Speaker 1: I have an eye. I would like gascon to try
Speaker 1: out to be an l A ram MAO cheerleader. All right,
Speaker 1: So I will do it under two terms to two conditions.
Speaker 1: Ben always with conditions, there's always an ultimatum with guests.
Speaker 1: So if we can get my my Twitter following up
Speaker 1: to like, let's say, like four thousand, and my Instagram
Speaker 1: handle up to like let's say two thousand, I will
Speaker 1: do it. So you're basically panhandling for followers. So how many?
Speaker 1: How many? What do you need? Even the numbers on
Speaker 1: that again? Four thousand on Twitter, all right? And two
Speaker 1: thousand on Instagram? Okay, how many do you have on
Speaker 1: Instagram right now? Instagram? I have like four Oh, you're
Speaker 1: not gonna get I've been begging. I just got to
Speaker 1: a thousand, and I've been begging every night. There's no chance.
Speaker 1: Well what about Twitter? Then? Twitter? I have like, yeah,
Speaker 1: Twitter is doable because I, Justin in Cincinnati would just
Speaker 1: just to see you as a male cheerleader, would like
Speaker 1: buy some bots to follow. I wouldn't buy it. I
Speaker 1: can't do that gonna be authentic. But I'll do it
Speaker 1: even if it's Justin or anyone else that that. No,
Speaker 1: I don't want bots. But now they're gonna be bots.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be like a bunch of people in India
Speaker 1: or whatever that they're gonna be following you the fake account.
Speaker 1: So we'll do it. So if you want, if you'd
Speaker 1: like to see and I'll go there and I will
Speaker 1: document Gascon trying out to be a male cheerleader for
Speaker 1: the l A RAMS and I think it'd be a
Speaker 1: great bit. So if you want to be part of that,
Speaker 1: find a way to get gas gone by the Russian
Speaker 1: bot followers for Gascon so his Twitter account gets suspended.
Speaker 1: That would be great. Have a wonderful weekend. We'll catch
Speaker 1: you next time to be back on the radio live
Speaker 1: in the overnight on Sunday in the Money eleven in
Speaker 1: the West, two am in the East of Money. Have
Speaker 1: a great weekend.
