Speaker 1 (01:20):
And then some.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mahlor Show.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
We are in the air aware as we have a
rogue gallery of insomniacs, degenerous and sports savants who are united.
They are coast to coast, border to border and beyond
on the mast and unrealistically powerful microphones of fs.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
I leave this hour from fill Out, Delphia.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
PA, the Dell Aware Valley, not far away from where
Jonathan in Delaware resides. And here we are months later,
months later, and seventy six er star Joe l and
Bead has commented on the infamous Donnybrook that happened in
the locker room between himself and a ink stained wrench

(03:22):
in Philadelphia.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
So if you did not see this, and maybe you
don't even know the story, you might have forgotten it.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Joel Embiid, an ENVP of years gone by, Joel Embiid
doubled down. He doubled down on the shove. He shoved
the columnist over some comments the column hast made about
his late brother. Now and Beide said, quote, I don't
care if the NBA wants to find me one million,

(03:51):
two million, five million, ten million, I would still do it.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Embiid very Braggettosie said.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
He said, if we walked up or if he rather,
if he walked up to me just like he did.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
I would push him away again.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
And Bead stated, now the columnist attempted to do something
that Embiid did not like. He attempted to critique Embiid.
That's a no no. And the critique was about the
professionalism of Joe l MB. And he had mentioned how
he couldn't stay healthy, the writer had said, and Bid
couldn't stay healthy, which, by the way.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Is true. He wanted to correlate.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
That line of thinking with how the seventy six er
center Embiid had said that he wanted to play to
honor his late brother, that his body of work on
the court was.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
A tribute to his late brother. Of course, the writer
was pointing.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Out, well, you're not really honoring your brother because you're
not playing.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Embiid was fine for that.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
The original incident over a million dollars. He was suspended
for three games with the fine was a million. Imagine
three days of work. You make a million dollars, Holy crap.
I'd never miss a day. Of course, you get paid
either way, so you miss a lot of days. So
let us discuss the question with MB proud of his famous.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Brotherly show of the sports writer.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
What does this signify about the seventy six or star
former MVP Joel mb So, I've got terrible twos, remote
control and piggy bank.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
And that's it. Connect all of this together, and we
are going to make some.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Peanut Eminem's not regular Eminem's not peanut butter em and
ms but peanut eminems. So, first of all, this is
really good news. It's really good news if you do
sports stock radio, and because this will be a wonderful story,
because if you're the columnist, you have.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
To show up in the locker room.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
If Embiad's pretty much say he's gonna do the same thing,
so you gotta be there. And if he does it,
you've got a story. And if he doesn't do it,
you've got a story.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Embid said he was gonna push me, and he didn't
push me.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
But listen, in all, in all fairness, in all, Benny
bright Side, Joel and me, I'm gonn give him credit.
He finally showed some consistency, So good job by MBIID. Unfortunately,
it's in the one area that he has perfected over
the years.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Tone deaf bravado.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Right masquerading is wearing your heart on the sleep the
Sixers like the whole mindset there. The zeitgeist in Philadelphia
around him beat is like he's somehow this tortured star
that's just misunderstood man who's made max money there. He
plays a part time schedule but gets paid a full

(06:51):
time salary.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
And he just gave everyone who pays attention a.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Little sliver, little mall maade, little mamud of unintented and honesty.
And in doing so, Embiid really confirmed I don't want
to be complete psychobabble guy, but he confirmed what we
have said for years and many other people have said
for years that he is just someone that has allergies.
He's allergic to things like accountability and professionalism, right, and

(07:19):
that's the big Like the guy wrote a column saying
you're not professional and you did something that is not
professional hello, like any criticism that goes just past the surface.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
With Embiid, and he is immediately mister martyr guy. He's
like a martyr. Now.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
I don't know this Philadelphia columnist. I don't know Joel
Embid either. I'm actually like Embiid, but the Philadelphia columnist
presumably one of the few people left in sports media
that dares be critical, upsetting the fanboys, and so he
again he connected Joel Embiid. There was a connective tissue
there between Embiid and his the tale that he likes

(07:59):
to tell about playing for his late brother in the
reality that he is very rarely available and very dramatic
and all that, and there's a lot of overdone playoff exits,
and to me, that is a on this side of
the microphone, that is a fair critique. It is a
business where you lionize commitment, right, And Embiid he responded

(08:23):
the only way he seems to ever respond, not with
any action, but with aggression. You know, I'm gonna shove
the rider. He did it, and now he says he'd
do it again, which is code for I can't handle
the truth. My name is Joel Embiid. I cannot handle
the truth. So I'm going to intimidate the messenger. So

(08:43):
tell me your thin skin without telling me your thin
s yin like, there's different layers to this Kevin Durant's
thin skin, But he doesn't, to.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
My knowledge, shove anyone.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Durant just hides behind his smartphone and lobbs bombs on
his smartphone. Okay, so I guess we need a refresher
course for Joel Embid. It's the Terrible twos between the
age of two and three. We all learned, and I
learned this one I was a kid. I don't know
if they teach us anymore.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Sticks to stones may break my bones, but names will
never harm me. That's it.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
By confronting whoever this Philadelphia scribe is or was, you're
giving that particular writer the power.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
You're empowering them. And we have people that listen to
show working newspapers.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Unfortunately, hardly anyone reads newspapers anymore, right, it just doesn't exist.
And so what Joel mb did is put that writer
on a pedestal. He gave that writer a bigger platform
by what he did. Like very few people actually read
that column. Everyone read it who pays attention after what

(09:53):
MB did. Now, secondly, to the grapevine. We go to
the grape vine, not the California grape vine between LA
on the way to Bakersfield, but instead NBA talking head,
the very rotund portly Kendrick Perkins. He believes that Anthony Edwards,

(10:14):
better known as the ant Man Anthony Edwards, is going
to do.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
What is the A going to leave.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
The NBA and become a Buddhist monk, B stop talking
to the media, or C demand a trade? Right vial answers,
vera answers. The answer would be request the trade. Yeah,
request the trade in the summer of twenty twenty six

(10:43):
if the Timberwolves are unable to take the next step
this upcoming season. So how does that want hit you now? Yeah,
Kendrick Perkins saying Anthony Edwards is going to ask for
a trade. So it must have been a slow Wednesday
in the NBA's offseason rumor mil Kendrick Perkins decided to

(11:04):
sound the trade watch. There's actually a there's a switch
and you flip the switch and all these alarms start buzzing.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
And lights go off and all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
And so I would advise you to grab the remote
control and hit the pause button. So let's talk a
moment about this, and let's appreciate the absurdity. Anthony Edwards
is twenty two years old. He has been in the
Final four back to back years.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
You know how hard it is to get to the
final four.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
The Minnesota Timberwolves have been in the Final four of
the NBA back to back years. He's the face or
one of the faces of USA basketball. He's under Contron contract,
not that those matter, but he's under contract through the
twenty twenty nine season. So if we are to believe
Kendrick or in this case podcast Perk, as he said

(11:58):
it on the podcast, that we're supposed to believe that
this is going to happen, you know it's possible. You know,
fill the band with. I got a podcast to do.
I gotta fill the band with.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Now.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
He didn't source it, He didn't say got this from somebody.
It wasn't reported anywhere other than him.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
I guess this was just a just a vibe, just.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
A vibe that he got and a Perk hunch. If
you have a hunch, bet a bunch. Now is aunt
frustrated with losing? Sure, right, every everyone supposed to be
frustrated with losing.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
That's even if.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
You're not, you have to pretend you are. But the
Timberwolves are not stuck. They're not stuck in the mud.
They're still a sending and Anthony Edwards will eventually want
a bigger stage. Keep in mind, one of the reasons
that Minnesota lost to Oklahoma City is because Anthony Edwards
was a no show.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
He was a ghost in some of those games. So
eventually I don't.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Doubt that Edwards will navigate his way to la or
New York or he's from the South Atlanta.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
He loves Atlanta, So that's a possibility.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Most people in that business, most people, most of the alphas,
that's what happens. There are a few exceptions, but most
end up there. Until then, we'll just sit back and
we'll watch Anthony Edwards and the Wolves cook.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Is what we're gonna right now.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Final thought, we pivot away from pro bouncy ball, so.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
We go now to college football.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
College football, that is where the Texas coach Steve Sarkisian
recently said that he does not does not talk to
the recruits about nil money until the very end of
the conversation.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
So how do you process this one?

Speaker 4 (13:53):
Again?

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Steve Sarkisian coach sark said recently that he.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
Doesn't really talk about nil money with recruits until the
very end of the conversation.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
How do you process that? So I does it?

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Steve Sarkisian, Congressman, how about that, Congressman, He's being very
select I guess he's being selectively forgetful is the way
I would describe it, much like a politician, because it
I don't really pay that much attention to college football.
I go for the story, like Arch Manning is a

(14:26):
pretty good story because he's going to be a top
five pick in the NFL Draft. That's a good story.
Big name coaches, big story, pretty much anything in the
SEC or the Big Ten, big.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Story, like, I go for that. But I'm not.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Every day when I wake up and I'm getting ready
for the show, I'm like, Oh, what's going on.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
In college football?

Speaker 2 (14:44):
I all scan it, but there's something's got to really
be interesting to get my attention, and this story did it.
It rose to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors.
And the reason is I have been sent by some
of you dudes and living in Texas, I think in Austin,
at least I know one of you lives in Austin.
The other one just says Texas could be anywhere, but

(15:06):
I assume close to Austin.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Otherwise you would you know anyway?

Speaker 2 (15:10):
I know it's everyone in Texas loves the University of
text unless they don't. There's Texas A and M there's
other school so there's a viral video and I will
describe it for our blind listeners.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
It is a recruiting video and.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
It's gone viral, and if you've seen it, you know
exactly what I'm gonna talk about because prominently mentioned and
the star of the show in the video is Lambo's Lamborghini's.
We're talking really expensive Lamborghini's, a slick, stylish, brightly colored Lamborghini's.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Room room right, and all of them parked.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Right outside like it was like they were filming a
rap video in South Beach or something. You know how
they film those right on the beach, or it was
like some rich guy who works in tech and they
were having a birthday party.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
For their kids.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
So they lined up all the Lambos. Very subtle, very quiet,
unless it wasn't subtle. It wasn't quiet, and definitely not
the kind of thing that you bring up at the
very end, like Texas isn't just recruiting players.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
And everyone's doing it. You're seducing them.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
And let's be honest here, we're not talking about Sasquatch
State University, right, this is a big deal. You're not
selling family values like nobody you as our friend Gottlieb
likes to say, you're not selling that, you're not eating
up moms lasagna.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
In Austin. It's one of the hipper cities in America.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
They got the rooftop bars, comedy clubs, they've got tech,
they've got influencers, they've got Joe Rogan, they've got Alex Jones.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
There's a lot going on. They got a crappy airport.
I do not like the airport, and they got to
get a better airport there. I mean, that is a
bad airport anyway.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
So the Longhorns are reportedly sitting on a forty million
dollar jackpot in nil money.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Forty million, forty million dollars. That is an orange, burnt
orange piggy bank.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
And Sarkisian's pretending like, oh yeah, it's not about that.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
It's always about the money.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Like what you're witnessing is the oldest play in the book.
It's a misdirection play, like a politician. Sarkisian wants you
to believe the players go to Texas for the burnt orange, right,
the tradition and all that stuff. It's all about the
student athlete experience.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
I still hear coaches talk about that. Now.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
The nil HeLa monster in the room only shows up
after the player decides to spend four years bleeding and
black and blue and all that.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Come on. They do it for the love of the game.
They no, they don't exactly. It is the Bean Mahler Show.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
As we were working our way through the overnight. If
you'd like to be part eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox. That's eight seven seven six three.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
Six nine, as we work our way through time.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Now though, for the malor riddle of the day, the
malor riddle of the day. So after winning the home
run derby back on Monday, Seattle Mariners star cal Raley,
who bailed out on the home run contest to win
the All Star Game. But Mariner star cal Raley picked

(18:47):
up an endorsement deal with Blank after winning the home
run derby. Again, Man, that's in the race for the
MVP Award. He's not gonna win it because he doesn't
playing New.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
York or LA.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
But Mariners star cal Raley pick up an endorsement deal
with Blank after winning the home run derby. That is
the malor riddle of the day. The answer, we'll get
to it. We will do it next.

We miss her, Rachel and Mantabello. She's still part of
the militia. She's just on the other side. We got
a lot of people that have crossed over the Pearly
gates there that still love the show. And I imagine
Rachel and Mantabello and our friend from Medford, Oregon, Genie
from Medford probably got into a slaby knocker.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
And then the Boston hater came in there and said
what about me?

Speaker 2 (20:53):
And then spokan Gary came over said hey, I'm here too,
and right, I mean right with so many legends. Calligan
Tim from Michigan. He's in there hanging out behind the
Pearly gates like we're gonna have a hell of a
party someday, crossing over there, all the mallad militia crossing
over to the Pearly Gates, and our friend who loves

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Yeah, yeah, well AI believe AI is actually done by
higher power, So maybe that's the other other side, but
it could be anyway. The Mallet Pulouze is coming up
Sunday night. The wildest, weirdest, wackiest night in overnight sports radio.
You can be a part of it, and you know,

(21:44):
who knows. I might just not do any monologues.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
We'll just relax. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
We have if we have enough people. We have a
lot of people that have signed up. Keep in mind,
some people will not show up, much like the Mallard
meet and greets, when people say they're going.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
To show up but they don't show up. So who knows.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
But those that will be there a lot of off
key singing comedy. There'll be impersonations as Jay Scoop, who's
a Platinum Platinum award winner. This guy has won more
Benny Awards and more awards in the Mallet Plusa than anybody,
so he will as he said, the unique acts, the

(22:18):
Boston Burper, the animal impersonations, those are the ones that
really stand out. There's the Boston Purper. Yeah, we lost
him to his he got married. Lost a lot of good.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Men to marriage.

Speaker 8 (22:29):
At least he's were on this side.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
As far as we know. But we are celebrating the
bizarre and the beautiful. It's coming up this Sunday night
eleven PM in the West on the West Coast, and
then very early two am on the East It'll be
all night long into the early morning hours. And if
you get that final hour slot, that's like early morning
drive on the East Coast.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
So you're doing like early.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
All right?

Speaker 2 (26:03):
So here, here's what that's a that's a great point.
So I'm gonna give you I got a I got
a couple of quarters. I've been to Koreatown. There's a payphone,
and I'm gonna have you go call someone who Oh
there are there are there are there is.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
There is one payphone I know of in Korea time.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
So I want you to that over there, and i
want you to call someone who cares because I'm not
that person.

Speaker 10 (26:29):
Can't you have a guest that good?

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Well? We we we we take terrible calls like yourself.
That's what we do here. We have no budget. They
barely pay me. They don't pay Lorain or a coop.
So uh anyway, thank you. Uh that's one of the
worst calls we've taken. Let's go to Jed who fled.

Speaker 10 (26:47):
Hello Jed, I'll ask you if you can make you
so worse, but after that caller, I'll think you can.
They can't thank you caller. Was that was that a
mix between Motley Lackie Races and Genian Medford because that
was like COPD at the club at the comic Club.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
Yeah, well, Bill, very tactful, very considerate. Bill and Venice,
they're very diplomatic and the great he won't remember any
of that. Once Bill sobers up, he won't remember anything.

Speaker 10 (27:27):
Sometimes people describe hitting like the the CO two. I
think it's ny it's the nitrous, but you know, it's
like a whipp it. You don't do the whip because
that's dangerous, but you actually do the extra thing. And
somebody told me what time it was like, It's like wow, wow,
wow wow, And I didn't believe it. And I'm very
sure that Bill has not just he's not doing that
right now. But I remember after doing that myself, I
was like the amount of brain cells I must have

(27:48):
just atomic bombs to have that experience. Bill's done that.
Bill's a professor.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
I don't I don't know. I mean, Bill might be
doing that fentanyl lean thing. I don't know what he's
got going on, but who knows.

Speaker 10 (27:59):
Uh, good luck, we're sitting out what's sitting down? Lean
thingde Are you more pledged into the drug world than
iron and something? That's awesome?

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (28:07):
You know?

Speaker 10 (28:07):
Come on, you know that Hey, meddam fedal lean, that's
that's that's making my math will drink meth fam fedalleen.
Go ahead to worry about say transformer god extended guys.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
It's uh, I guess, I don't know. They called the
lean maybe they called the fentanyl fold or whatever.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
When you walk there, you go through skid row and
they're letting people leaning over they don't even know they're leaning.

Speaker 10 (28:28):
Over rest and you're being being taken it. You're being
booked into jail. What you want to when a fat
person has a big old stomach, that's the best time
to have a fittingel folds. That way you don't get
charged with the introduction, and you know mechanical, you get
slipped on your farrows and get it right in.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
Then you're very.

Speaker 10 (28:43):
Popular inside of the jail as well. Yeah, but you know,
you know, you don't expect them to give you a
u A in jail, but I have seen it happen,
and it's just like, you know, what I love is.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
That that like, this is not a great call, but
that you're so much better than the last call.

Speaker 10 (28:57):
Like but perspective. One of my respectors under sell uber delivered.
I usually hunder deliver, but I'm big on the under selling.
But that guy right there, I appreciate that man because
I mean, that's a that's a that's a Ricky Henderson,
the ladof batter that you don't got a way bout
hitting home runs. That's a terrible metaphors, like yeah, yeah,
you know, you know what it is.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
I remember back in the old days, like Jim Rome
when he was the star of sports radio, Jim.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Okay, thank you.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Jim Rome used to have the worst people fill in
for him because he didn't want anyone good filling in.
I don't know now, I don't know if Jim has
better people filling in now or not, but he'd always
have really boring people fill in for him because.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
Then like when he came back, people are like, oh man,
we missed your oh so good.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
And a lot of.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
People do that.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
They like they want like the worst of the worst,
just the worst of the worst, and it's just better
for him, just better for them right there. Anyway, it
is the Ben Mahlor Show. We're taking terrible phone calls.
I need to pay off the malor.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
Riddle of the day.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
And here is the riddle of After winning the home
run derby Mariners star cal Raley picked up an endorsement
deal with Blank.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
That is the question. What is the answer?

Speaker 2 (30:11):
By the way, Fergdog says that guy in Korea time
on even more drugs than Jed who fled well, they
went back to back. Joe the ghost Hunter says, you
need better legal representation. JT the Wingman says that guy
makes hollering. James thirty six pills in the morning, thirty
six pills at night looked like an appetizer.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Mister Rigason says, where's the payoff? The payoff is right now.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Mister irrigation says, cal Raley's endorsement deals with Rodo Ruder.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
He says, what else do we have? Page down? We'll
skip over that.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
The Brazilian Bumbum cream from Bobby in Florida, Super Duper
Pooper Company from Rob the Ambassador of Bakersfield, Meta Musil
eat More Fiber people from ferg Dog that's his answer.
Page down, Balco Baker Gordon's fish Dicks.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
That's a tribute to Marcel and Brooklyn. Who else do
we have? Page down?

Speaker 2 (31:07):
Tonka Tonka toys from alf the alien o Pier Mason
Listener Mason and Huntington Beach who famously recorded Eddie Garcia
in the Fountain at the sherm Noakes Gallerina Galeria across
the street.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
He from the studio.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
He says sponsor for mister Burns Brain and Nerve Tonic.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Have some fun indoors with yourself. Yeah, yeah, sure, all right.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Fudgie says a Japanese toilet company is the answer. Robbie
the Mariner fan got it right, but he's cheating. Eloy
from Compton says that Cal Roley got a big endorsement
deal from Sharman toilet paper. Page down, Stanley Tape Measures
is the answer.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
Who else do we have? Page down?

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Justin and Cincinnati said something about HIV medication? All right,
scar of Wars from Donkeys Sausage.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
I like the sausage, Lorena.

Speaker 5 (32:05):
It is not.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Lifetime free meals at Bob's Big Boy Guess by Mark
from Queen's who's currently in Arlington?

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Do you have an answer? Lorena?

Speaker 4 (32:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (32:15):
I think he got an endorsement deal with Baskin Robbins.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
Now that's random Baskin Robbins, I know thirty one flavors. Yes,
all right, that is incorrect, the correct the correct answer.
Cal Rowley, Mariner Star won the home run Derby. He
picked up an endorsement deal with Honey Bucket. Honey Bucket,
you know what Honeybucket is, Lorena, no, Honeybucket is a

(32:47):
company that makes I guess this is a different company.
But Porta Potti is you know the mobile when you're yes, yeah, yeah, yeah,
and so that is he's known as the big Dumper.
It's a natural the big Umper would get into business
with the Honeybucket. And he should be the ambassador for

(33:08):
waste management also, and should should drive the honey wagon.
You never want to drive behind the honey wagon ever.
And that's the one thing. If I'm behind a honey wagon,
I will go to the next lane, even if there's
more traffic, because if for some reason the honey wagon
gets into an accident and you're behind the honey wagon,
where do you think the honey's going to go?

Speaker 8 (33:29):
The Raina' probably all over my carbon?

Speaker 4 (33:34):
Yes, yeah, it's so sticky.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
It's a but it's not. It's not that kind of honey.
The raina it's a different it's a brown. Yeah, it's
a yeah, it's a problem. Anyway, let's see here.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
All right, why don't we pause for the calls? We

Speaker 4 (35:41):
All right, we are going to start off with a
question from Ferg dog Hi.

Speaker 10 (35:47):
Ferg.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
He wants to know did you need a hot dog
on National hot Dog Day?

Speaker 1 (35:51):
He did you know? I? I did not. I did
not know it was National hot Dog Day. I did
eat a hot dog the other day, though we do
have some dogs. I got him. There's a kind of
a costco that I get. We always have him in
the house. And yeah, I did.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
I did have one this week. I don't normally eat
hot dogs rare and appropriate. It was actually during the
All Star Game. I had a hot dog during the
All Star Game, so this week I had one, but
not on the day. And Loreina, I think you did
the hot dog tour?

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Is that correct? Yeah?

Speaker 9 (36:20):
I was hoping to get more hot dogs down than
I did, but I went to two different places today.
I had one chili cheese dog from the Wiener Schnitzer
and I had.

Speaker 8 (36:31):
I don't know what kind of dog from the doghouse,
but that was amazing.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
That was a dog.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
In many ways, you are the Glizzy Gobbler. That's what
you are today.

Speaker 4 (36:39):
Indeed, all right.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Coople Loop, did you gorge on any on any hot dogs?
If I could talk, that would help, but I did not.
All right, when's the last time you ate a hot dog?

Speaker 4 (36:54):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
It's a good Fourth of July was just not a
few days, you know, No, it was.

Speaker 4 (36:58):
It was actually when I was at the World Here's
a poker in Vegas, they were selling twelve dollars hot dogs.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
Twelve dollars hot dogs. Oh my god, I'd rather fast.
All right, what's next? What do we have here?

Speaker 4 (37:09):
JT the Wingman, Hi Ja, I met him.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
This guy's been to like almost all the malard meat
Greeks we've done other than Vancouver.

Speaker 4 (37:16):
He wants to know what is a better summer drink,
lemonade or sweet slash iced tea.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
Yeah, I'm team lemonade.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
I don't mind an Arnold palmer, which is where you
combine both, obviously, but I go lemonade. A nice lemonade
with the proper sugar ratio with everything is the way
to go.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
It's one of my favorite drinks. And really like when
I'm out, like I'll if I.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
If I Usually I just drink water, but if I'm
gonna cheat a little bit, I'll have lemonade.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
What about you rain?

Speaker 8 (37:46):
Oh yeah, lemonade all day. I like it a little
bit on the tart side to.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
The pressure the better more sugar coop.

Speaker 4 (37:54):
Absolutely lemonade.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
There you go. Take that all you people, please trash team.
And the only I see I like is the musician.
He's old.

Speaker 4 (38:05):
Next all right, donkey sausage, Hi donkey. You would like
to know how often do you change the sheets on
your bed?

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Well, I'm married, so every week we changed the sheets.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
If I was single, maybe once a month, you know,
back when I was single, Florina.

Speaker 9 (38:23):
Well, I have sheets under my sheets, under my two comforters,
so I mostly just wash my upper comforters and never
touch my sheets.

Speaker 8 (38:32):
I don't go that low. I even just use a
throw blanket.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
You do the top layer you wash?

Speaker 8 (38:37):
Yeah, like I washed my comforter and then I use
a throw blanket on top.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
What about the did you sleep on a sofa or something?

Speaker 2 (38:44):
No?

Speaker 8 (38:45):
I just have a lot of layers of blankets.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
Are you living in Alaska and flying down for the
show or what is I don't know, some Siberia.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
You live in la there's no al right? Cool?

Speaker 4 (39:00):
U not as often as probably should. Uh, that's that
I'd probably say it's it's probably around you know, once
every few three to four weeks.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
Okay, yeah, I usually once a week. Well wash, I
actually wash Moxie, my my dog Maxia. She lays on
a on a blanket we put on the sofa, so
we have to wash that a lot more.

Speaker 5 (39:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (39:25):
See it's different if you have animals too.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
Yeah, yeah, it's a problem.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (39:29):
The king rory hy rory. He would like to know
which is better liquid soap or bar soap?

Speaker 2 (39:37):
What's the context like in the shower you're talking about
like washing your hands?

Speaker 4 (39:42):
Like he doesn't he doesn't say, he.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
Did not specify. I'm team liquid. I'm team liquid. And
if you if you share a bathroom with somebody the
bar soap, you know, do you really want to share
bar soap with someone else? You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
You never know where they put the bar exactly. The
play hide and seek with the bar, You don't want that.
So I'm I'm Team Liquid. I love the liquid Lourina same.

Speaker 8 (40:06):
But for different reasons. I feel like the bar soap
makes me stiff, like it really like my skin.

Speaker 9 (40:11):
Gets all hard and I can't move it, the same
as if I use like a moisturizing.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
Why aren't you supposed to rub some on your arm
or whatever and then take rub a lot on one
part of your arm and then from there move it
around your body.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
Isn't that usually how it works?

Speaker 4 (40:24):
Yeah? But with the barsof as soon as you rinse
it off, your skin's all like it's like almost like
the rubbery.

Speaker 8 (40:29):
Yeah, it's sweet.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
Yeah, So no Irish spring for you. It's ask Ben
Koopa your so your Team Liquid?

Speaker 7 (40:36):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (40:37):

answers for the rest of the hour. There she blows,
We say, what's next?

Speaker 4 (40:45):
Well, so out the alien o pinter hi Alf.

Speaker 1 (40:48):

Speaker 4 (40:50):
He's asking this and I need to address the question.
He says, Are you all in for Uno being introduced
to casino gambling in Vegas?

Speaker 1 (40:59):
Now?

Speaker 4 (41:00):
Yeah, this story went around. It's not Bogus's kind of bogus. Well,
it's they're bringing it to one like the Palms casino,
and it's like an Uno social club. You're not like,
there's not actually like Uno on the casino floor and
all the you know casinos.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
