Speaker 1 (00:00):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
If you thought four hours a day, minutes a week
was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants of
the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
crackheads in the Ghetto Cutter the same as the rich
(00:21):
pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of Hot
takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with
Ben Maller starts right now. That it does. We are
in the air everywhere coast to coast, border to border
and beyond the power of podcasting. Eight days a week.
(00:42):
This will be the eighth day of the week. If
you haven't figured that out now by now, it's it's Sunday,
and it's a spinoff of the Overnight Show. And we
think our friends at my Heart the I Heart podcast
Network available wherever you get your podcasts, and it's fueled
for me. It's fueled by cameo dot Com. You can
check out cameo dot com and personalized video message and
(01:03):
all that. We thank you for supporting um the show
That Way with me, That Way, uh and David Gascon
is in here as well. Who is still trying to
get you to listen to Benny Versus the Penny? I think,
I think do she do she mcnoosh, Betty versus the
(01:30):
Penny and I have some breaking and great news as
we get this thing underway. But yes, Benny versus the Penny,
Week number five was was pretty damn good for you.
It was a great bounce back for you. And week
number six, we hope is is even better as we
can tain this long journey, turbulent journey, I guess because
you're you're dodging, you're bobbing and weaving between teams, picks
(01:53):
and the coronavirus. Because you've got a bunch of clubs
that are getting pushed back or placed on by weeks. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you're handicap. Have been games on a Friday, sometimes the
games aren't played until Tuesday. Makes it a lot a
lot of fun, makes it a lot of fun. Yeah,
that's pretty wild. It's a threading a needle, I believe
is the the clinical term for that for sure? Uh So, yeah,
(02:15):
Benny versus the Pennies on the YouTube, we do that
Friday's depending on my schedule and giscon schedule either Friday
evening or Friday night in the East, Friday afternoon Friday
night in the West. And we've also we've we've dispersed
it a little bit more. So we're gonna be doing
it on YouTube, on Twitch, on Periscope, and then hopefully
(02:40):
we can do it on Facebook Live as well. So
four different ways, possibly a fifth. But we are we
are splintering out, as they would say, we tried to
build this thing out, and we gotta obviously ten more
weeks to do that. Yes, all right, let's see. Are
you you want some questions without the mailbag? You these
are questions to get right into. We don't have a
(03:01):
ton of time. Do it out of the email bag
from the real fifth our email address, I have some
I have some email from that. Good good, because I
am finally starting to see those emails on my phone.
I'm really oh no, right, wait wait, wait, wait, very
I thought you didn't know the password. I did not
know the password, but I reset my phone to my
(03:24):
Mac and it's somehow linked the two together. Boom, boom,
it's really good. All right, let's go to the mail
bag and Jason and Rocky Mount Virginia beats leadoff. He says,
since Ben has several food dishes named after him and
a drink coming soon, that's true in Colorado. I was
(03:44):
wondering if Gagon had a dish or a drink named
after him, What do you think some good names for
that would be. Yeah, would anyone give you a food
dish as an honor? I don't know, but maybe some chili, cheese,
fries and we can call it the gas That's dumb, No,
I think how about like a can of beans and
(04:07):
called the gag on You're lame Canada beans. Nobody wants
to eat that ship exactly. Listen, that's what I'm saying.
Nobody wants to eat your food. My food dishes have
been on the menu for years. People enjoy those chicken fingers.
Kids love the Mallard chicken fingers, the Mallard Fowler at
(04:28):
the Strip Club in Lawrence, Kansas, they love that, and
Denver at the sports book bar and grill. Those are
all good. But everybody loves fries. People love chili and
of course cheese. You put that all together. It doesn't
matter what region of the country you should do. You
should do. Poutine is what you should do. But I'm
like Canadian. You know, it doesn't matter, man, Putine's a
(04:48):
wonderful meal. It is. It's really good. It's the greatest
thing that Canada has given the world is poutine. It
is true, all right. Eric in Binghamton writes and says,
dear Ben and Dave push strami or corn beef. I
would go pastrami all day if it were not for
the existence of the Ruben Do they serve such food
(05:08):
west of the four oh five? That's from Eric Eric.
I'm a pastrami guy. Uh, and I go to cats
Is well. I used to go to cats Is in
New York, but in l A it is Langer's. Langer's
Deli in l A is the go to top pastrami spot.
It's even better than the New York Deli's. And it's
(05:29):
only open till four o'clock. We talked about it before.
It's right across from MacArthur Park, where you can get
any kind of contraband you possibly want um and uh,
but yeah, that's the pastrami. My dad's more of a
corn beef guy, but I'm a pastrami guy. Guscan you
what smoked meats do you like? Yeah? I think pastrami
is the goats here. There's a spot in San Pedro
that's kind of close to where Eddie lives called Busy Bee.
(05:51):
I've heard of that. Yeah, what's so good about it? Well,
first of all, they give you a lot more of
the substance as opposed to the bread, and I think
a lot of sandwich places get lost in that where
they just have these giant pieces of bread. The slices
of bread are so thick that it kind of dilutes
the substance in the middle of it, and they just
(06:11):
contain to packet on it. Well, it's meat ball pastromy um.
The b l t s are pretty good there too,
some of the cold sandwiches. You know. Even now, my
my aunt through marriage lives like right near that, within
that neighborhood around the busy because it's in the middle
of a neighborhood. And uh, every time I've gone down there,
it's been like on Thanksgiving the busy Bees close, so
(06:32):
I haven't been able to get a delicious pastronomy sandwich.
And and I need to get there because I've heard
I've heard good things about it. It's delicious, all right.
Travis in Roseberg, Oregon rights and he says, Ben, how
would you rate the producers that covered for Coope from
best to Gascon? I mean worst? Uh yeah, I think
we've we've been through that. Uh. Guesscon obviously is at
(06:53):
the bottom. Everyone else is ahead of Gascon. So that's
all you need to know. Chris and Edmonton right since
says are you currently working on any side projects? Been
like music or art? No? Music, although I have a
few things in the hopper right now. I was contacted
by somebody the other day about a project, something that
I've thought about doing for a long time that I
(07:15):
have not been able to pull off. And it's not
I don't want to say anymore because I've been told
I have a vow of silence. I'm not allowed to
talk about it publicly. But I'm hopeful. I'm optimistic. I'll
be Benny bright Side on this Mallard Sunshine that this
will work out, and when I'm allowed to talk about it,
I will. It'll take a lot of work to do
(07:36):
this project. It will take a lot of time to
do this project, and we'll see whether it happens or not.
There's that, and you're working on anything else, guessing and
you're you claim to be an actor. You're in commercials
and all that crap that you do. Right, well, we're
in some uh, Benny versus the Penny takes a lot
of time to kind of put together and and work on,
(07:56):
so it's not it's not as easy as just flip
it on a switch and putting our mean mugs on
a on a camera screen. There a picture. So yeah,
we've been working on that and trying to have that
thing take off. It's it's original content. So yes, yes,
people think that that's like a part of the corporate
overlord structure. It's not. It's a side, standalone, do it
(08:18):
yourself type situation. That is your baby. That is your baby.
Since when like fifteen years ago. Uh yeah, I did
it on the radio for a long time and uh
and and now well we did the podcast last year,
so it goes back many, many many years. I think
the Turk Stevens you probably don't even know why he was.
He was the guy, one of the original guys. And yeah,
(08:40):
we called it originally it was it wasn't Benny versus
the Penny, it was Ben versus the coin. But then
one of my producers like, hey, it's got it's more
catchy Benny versus the penny. So we switched it up
to Benny versus the penny. For marketing reasons, we do that.
Carlos from Houston writes, and he says, how long has
the Geico for Fox Sports Radio studio has been the
Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios? And what was it called before?
(09:03):
All right, Carlos, So that's a good question. It has
been the Geico Studios for probably ten years at least,
maybe longer than that. Before it was called the Auto
Zone Studios fueled by Auto Zone. Get in the zone
with Auto Zone. In fact, if you we we have
the in the in the main studio, we have the
(09:25):
backdrop with the Fox logo all over and all that stuff.
But if you peel that back like wallpaper, they still
have on the original wall the Auto Zone Studio sign
is still in there. They didn't take it down. They
just left it up. I'm not kidding. They left the
thing up. Oh man. Yeah, so that's it, and guests
(09:47):
gone quit being jealous. Don't be a jealous, bitch. Ben
doesn't have a choice but to work from home. Cut
the guys some slide. Well, thank you Carlos in Houston.
I see there's somebody in Houston that gets it. Guess
go a nut job guys. Guy's a nut hugger, that's
what he is. I like that guy. It's one of
the only people in Houston. I like that. Like there's
five of them and he's one of them. Johnny and
(10:08):
soakaw says Ben. What happened to the instant advice line
caller that said, I'd look him square in the eye
and said you hang up on yourself? Ben Maller, Uh yeah, yeah, John. Well,
as you know, I am the mother to all the
people that call into the incident. I don't know what
happened to the guy, the guy you did change jobs,
or he decided he's not gonna stay up anymore at night,
(10:28):
or is something that happened to him and his health
and all that. These guys they come and go, unfortunately,
and we've had a lot of the instant of vice
glized stick around. But that was actually an homage to
Mark the full name guy the look him score on
the I'd say you hang up on yourself, Ben Maller,
because Mark the full name guy who got into a
(10:49):
hissy fit with me one time. That's the line that
he used. You hang up on yourself, Benn Maller, and
then so, yeah, that's the bid. I listened to that
live that was do you Those are really good shot
towards you. I could not. I did not understand why
he was blowing up at you, and then all of
a sudden, bang, you hang up on yourself. He's crazy,
(11:10):
He's nuts. Uh fun fun. I can't he doesn't listen

You know you other guys can't handle working overnights. I
prefer not to. I like to sleep. Embarrassing, embarrassing us,
(11:56):
says a surprise call. The year, Alf the alien O
Pinters going with Doc Mike's Incarcerated Brother Revelation and Pinto's
Wild Animal Sanctuary. Yeah, that was pretty cool. I that
was my favorite call, Pinto. Who's I take the call
from Pinto? He's screaming and he says, I'm I'm screaming
(12:17):
at my cat. And then during the call it's revealed
that that he picked up a Bobcat and is domesticating
a bobcat as his house pet. What could possibly go wrong? Oh? Man?
What could possibly go wrong with that? Right? All right?
(12:37):
And then he says two questions for a gag on
a who do you think you are? And be? How
many mirrors are there in the gagon compound? How many mirrors?
No mirrors? No mirror in the mirror in the bathroom.
That's about it. Huh, that's not what I hear. All right,

questions fire away? All right? Chris? And the Cocota is
about an hour north of Moline, Illinois. Says ever had
sex outdoors? If so, where go ahead, guest gun the
great outdoors? Um, would you classify a car outdoors? Well,
if that's the case, then I'm in that category that
(13:20):
most people in high school start out. Maybe not now,
but back in the day. Now, I'm thinking like out
in the woods, you know, in the stakes, beach beach, Oh,
you have done the beach there? Did you have a tent? Or?
Were you out there night at night and then at nighttime?
Tallas under the stars? Did you get sand everywhere? Guests? Guns?
(13:44):
Probably probably in front of a policy station. Was the wildest? Wow?
Did you man? Well? You had the ultimate to get
out of a trouble card? Though you know this is
many people don't know the Chief Los Angeles. Okay, I
(14:05):
got you, I got you? Interesting? All right? Oh? What
else do we have you? Let's see page Dan, page Dan? Oh?
This one from jet Fuel George. He says, I once
asked a girl how she liked her eggs. As a
pickup line, she answered, unfertilized. What's the best line of
girl has ever thrown at you? Alright, gascon any amazing lines?
(14:29):
Because I have a I have a cleft in my chin,
a but chin, and I had one female it said,
were you kissed by an angel? Wow? That was that
was one line. I'm not at the top of my
head here, jet Field George off the top of my head.
I'm not not recalling not recalling any I know there's
(14:54):
been some good ones, but I don't think I can't
think of any right now. Kentucky Jay, I got a
great story that I would would be perfect for this spot. Um.
I have a buddy of mine who went, I kid
you not, went to Vegas and it was raining and
we were inside actually the Marquis, which is in uh
like Excess and the wind hotels and all that stuff.
(15:16):
They're all connected. So he went inside the Marquis and
we're at this club and it was raining outside. So
when we got into the club, it was indoor and outdoor,
and my buddy went up to this chick and he said,
how about you and me go fucking the rain? Whoa?
She slapped him, and he said, what you don't like
the rain? And he fucking took her back to the room.
(15:39):
She went from slapping him to laughing at him and
fucking banged him. It was pretty wild, wow, but it
was pretty good. Who knew? All right? Kentucky Jay and
Kentucky Tay right in from Scottsville, Kentucky and have a
couple of questions here now by the way, they sent
a photo on Facebook. You're not on Facebook? Good looking family,
(15:59):
good looking for I'm a beautiful kid there and they,
you know, stand in front of some water and yeah
it's pretty cool. Uh let's see here question. Uh see,
we're asking this question from hilton Head, South Carolina. I
guess that photo must have been taken in hilton Head,
South Carolina. Who knew? Uh went eating fresh seafood? What
is your go to meal? That's from Kentucky. Jay. See,
(16:22):
I'm not a big seafood guy. I like the beer
battered fish jicks. That's That's about the only seafood I
really I wanted As a kid, I ate salmon. My
mom would make like salmon patties and things like that,
and she fed me a lot of fish when I
was a kid, So tuna, fish, that kind of stuff.
But just like, the only fish I really go for
is like a fish covered in beer batter and fried
(16:45):
with tartar sauce and all that stuff. You just tunna, Yeah,
it's about it. I'm not a big seafood guy either.
All right. Then Tay wants us to know who's gonna
win the Super Bowl. You want to pick who's going
I don't know. If I knew that, I wouldn't be here,
I'd be in Vegas making a lot of money. No chocolate.
(17:06):
I think the Chiefs by the end of the year
will will be the team. Chuck Chuck in Cincinnati on
Twitter says, do you hate the Lakers because they made
you pay for a ticket like the Seahawks did last year? No?
I didn't even pay for a ticket to the Seahawks.
I didn't even go to the game. I went to
a restaurant with some listeners when we watched the game
on television and ate some food. That's what happened. And
(17:26):
the Lakers didn't make me pay for tickets either. But
I just don't like the arrogance of the historian. I
do not like, do not appreciate it. Yeah, Latti daw nonsense.
They really should move west to the four or fives
what they should do? Lee in Phoenix says, where is
the worst smelling place you've been? Where is the worst
(17:46):
smelling place you've been? I will answer that Lee. The
worst smelling place I have been would be recently would
be the Las Vegas Strip at the end of twenty nineteen,
was walking around. It was like around midnight right next
to the New York New York Hotel and Casino New
(18:08):
York New York Hotel and Casino, and they got the
hockey arena there with the Golden Nights Arena, and there
had been a sewer league, a fresh sewer league, and
so there was raw feces that had been pouring out
into the street and we happened to walk right by
it and it was the most foul, pungent smell. Uh
(18:30):
it was horrific, and it smelled the entire strip as
far as we could imagine. I wouldn't walk the whole
thing because it was terrible to smell. But and even
some of the hotels on the lower when you can
kind of go to the lobby of those hotels there
where they have the slot machines, it smelled like ship.
What about you gus the same thing. It was a
couple of years ago. But going to the Cosmopolitan, Buddy
(18:53):
and I check in, and as soon as we checked in,
we just heard we just smelled something that was just
it's felt like death. You stayed at the Cosmopology. That's
a chick hotel. That's not it is, that's a that's
a bougie hotel designed to bring in women. Well, I
brought in women. Yeah, what are you doing standing there?
What's wrong with that? It's not a masculine hotel. Who
(19:16):
cares about how masculine it is. If there's asked there,
then you go there. But you can go there, you
don't have to stay there. We got upgraded. Anyways, they
the plumbing broke underneath the hotel and so all the
sewage dumped underneath the hotel like everything. It smelled like
it was just like what you were just describing. It
was an awful, awful smell. So they upgraded us from
(19:39):
a regular room to a sweet Is that right? Yeah,
but it was it was like that the entire weekend.
They couldn't do anything about it. A pipe Burston, and
so everyone was getting upgraded. Yes, boy, Vegas is taken
in the in the shorts this this year because of
the COVID and people aren't traveling there. And have you
seen some of the hotel's only open on the weekends
(20:00):
using during the week It sucks. Man, when's that going
to change? Giscoon? Do you have your crystal ball out?
One's that gonna change? I'll let you know, I'll let
you know. November four, November four. Is that is that? Okay?
Depending on which team wins, will be in maybe in
good shape there, Yeah, neither that will see what happens
(20:20):
with the Supreme Court. Okay, so that could be the
the difference as well. All right, very very good. Let's
see who else do we have? These are actual questions
by actual listeners. Uh. This guy didn't write his name.
He just ranted and complained about the Lebron James versus
Michael Jordan's debates on ESPN. I don't work at ESPN.
(20:41):
I don't I don't know what's going on with them. Uh,
you should address that to them, Ryan in Portland's rights
in Uh, he says Portland, Oregon is Sean Payton the
most overrated coach in the NFL. He's called an offensive
guru by multiple people. I watched one and a half
Saints games a year, and it seems like their offense
(21:02):
has been the same for ten years. Whenever Taysom Hill
comes in, he does the same thing. Yeah, well, you
know the deal here, Ryan, And when the legend becomes
the fact, you go with the legend. The Saints have
been one of the top offensive team statistically in points
and yards per game. In Sean Payton's tenure with Drew Brees,
they've been very successful. The productivity has been there. Um,
(21:27):
So you do have that put your reputation procede you right,
whether it's good or bad. If you have your tagged
as a terrible coach, that's gonna foll you around. If
you're tagged is a great coach, is gonna fall you around.
It's like Bruce Arians. Bruce Arians. The media loves him
because Bruce Arians is a blowhard and he's very verbose
and all that, so they give him a little extra
(21:48):
looks are leeway and things like that. And I guess
Sean Payton is the same way. I don't. I don't know.
What about John Gruden? Uh yeah, Gruden gets a lot
of that too. Gruden's if you look at his record,
even when he won the super Bowl in Tampa, but
the last several years as coach, he was very mediocre.
The last after that in Tampa, they were very blah,
(22:08):
not impressive, not impressive all that much at all. All Right,
what do we have next year? Let's see a couple
more of these amazing questions from Stevo, But not that
Stevo in Florida. My question is more for Ben and
not the douche nozzle from West to the four or
five Ben. Is it too soon for Kobe to be
(22:30):
involved in lame jokes now? Stevo, I think you emailed
me this as well, uh, in addition to posting get
on Facebook. So the way I'll answer that is, yeah,
I think you gotta wait a year with Kobe. I
think you gotta wait a year. So we're not that
far away actually from the year mark, because it's the
year's winding up here in sont A way a year.
(22:52):
The other stumbling block that we have is that I'm
surrounded by Laker fanboys and historians and so they're not
gonna want any kind of Bobe jokes on the air,
And that's the other issue. But if you get me
on a night when Coop's not there and Roberto is
not there, which happens every once in a while, then
it's open season. Why not? There are some good Kobe jokes.
Even Kobe, if he was alive, he came back with
(23:13):
laugh at the jokes. You think they're funny, and they're
they're mild hemans. But I think we had a way
to hear probably and especially because you're also hurt on
five seventy in Los Angeles, so you've got a lot
of liquor. Fai doesn't mow, Please grow some rhino skin. Well,
that's wrong with you. Shame on you, Guesscon, bad job
(23:34):
by you. All right, we have some other sport oh questions.
That's about it, Giscon. Do you want to do a
sport oh question? All right? Uh, Mike from americca Io
will write sin again. He says, what's the Lions chances
on the tank for Lawrence Mayhem? Are the Lions the
worst at being the worst? And you're gonna mess this up?
(23:54):
The Jets are gonna be the worst of the worst. Well,
it's a dead heat. It's a three horse race at
this point. You've got the Giants as we're doing this
heading into the last you know, the weekend, this Sunday activity,
the Giants at oh and five would have the number
one pick because of strength of schedule. Atlanta would be second,
the Jets would be third. The Lions because they won
(24:16):
a game, they would have the ninth pick. They're one
in three, they're one in three, so they would have
the ninth pick in the draft. So they have. I
hope that Houston. Actually Houston's got the eighth pick, but
that goes to Miami, Minnesota's ahead of the Lions, Jacksonville, Washington,
and the Chargers. The Chargers would have the fourth pick
(24:36):
in the draft if the season ended today and lose
a lot of money. But it goes to strength of schedule.
Is the is the big thing. I think the way
that the division is, at least to the NFC East,
the Giants are gonna fall their way into another victory.
I think this is the Jets. No matter, well, this
weekend they played, they play the Washington football team fully
(24:58):
knows the Redskins. Se figure those teams probably split the games.
So if they split the games, then that's Washington at
two wins. That should eliminate them. The Jets. They have
no obvious win the Jets because maybe the Dolphins. But
the Dolphins looked like an average type of team to me.
(25:20):
They don't look terrible the Dolphins. They're they're not good,
but they're like a six type win team, six and
ten team, which is much better than a two and
fourteen type of team. So that's the deal there. And uh,
you know the playoff matchups if the season ended right now,
guests gun. The two teams that have BIS would be
(25:42):
Tennessee they have the top record four and oh in
the a f C. And Seattle would have because they're five.
And on Green Bays even though they're four. No, Green
Bay would not five. And note Trump's form which is
so odd team with one of the worst defenses, and
the entire National Football League is up there, and the
Cowboys would be in the playoffs. From the under five hundred,
(26:03):
Cowboys would be in. They play the Rams, the Rams
of the five seed. As of right now, nothing better
than looking at playoff matchups heading into week six. Here's
your possible playoff matchups from the National Football League. Their
their games of note. Oh, that's right, games. We have
(26:24):
lots of games of note we would like to discuss
with enquiring minds. Would like to know, yes, that is
that is correct. Also, Adrian wrote in from Denver and
he actually gave us the I guess it's the call
in number. He he wants to have the Broncos play
by play guy on our podcast. On a Friday podcast,
(26:45):
Dave Logan, the Voice of the Broncos. You're a Bronco fan,
Guest guy so now that you can check your email,
you can see that number there, and you can try
to book Dave Logan as a guest on this podcast.
I could try. No, don't try to do it. You're
usually pretty, You're usually pretty wishy washy on recommendations. Know
(27:07):
that the one NFL guy we were going to get that, hey,
he couldn't do it because he had to go to
the track. Remember, oh yeah, yeah, we can get him on.
I put him on. Why don't we try to get
him next week that we can do that? No? All right? Uh?
And Andrean also says I've been shaving my head for
over fifteen years. You should too be. The barbershop is
(27:28):
a rip off, I promise. I don't work for the
Dollar shave clot but they have great shaving products, he said,
and then he recommended a certain six blazer, a six
blade razor, he claimed, as the thing why I I
did right back to him and I thanked him for
the for the tip. And I have trimmed the hair
a little bit. I've trimmed the hair. Um, let it go, man,
(27:49):
let it go. You know, it doesn't look I noticed
when I trim it it doesn't look as bad. It
looks just like I've got like a buzz cut and
there's not that much hair there, so it looks fine.
But when I weird my hair, I have fine hair
because I'm a fine person. And when I my hair
grows out, it looks really bad, like really really bad.
(28:09):
You know it's it's it's disgusted. Everybody's hair when that
grows out looks bad. No, no, but I look like
I have no hair on the top of my head,
but I have it on the side. But yet when
I trim it, it looks like it's more balanced. Ok,
I got you know what I'm saying. It's an optical illusion,
is what it is. I'm the crazy nutty professor, is
what I am. Got you? Yes, exactly, all right, that's it.
(28:34):
I think we're out of questions guessing anything else you
would like to add as an addendum to the podcast
or anything you want to throw in here. As a curveball,
B you've ended B or not to be. You're upset
because be or not to be Babylon B has become
very popular. You're bothered by this? Is that correct? Yeah?
It's um. Tony Bruno loves the Babylon be. Yeah, Tony
(28:57):
Tony has founded He's he's into it. Yeah, he that is.
I don't know how much radio he's doing these days
since obviously with what had happened recently with Serious XM.
But he loves the Babylonbie. He's all about the bab Blambi,
the bab bab Ba ba baby Lambie. So but please,
you know, obviously with Benny versus the Penny. It's on YouTube.
(29:20):

it helps out in terms of just marketing and production
and whatnot. Yes, yes, a word of mouth. That's the
only way we're gonna grow this thing. So please help
us out spread the gospel. And you might not think
it matters, but believe it or not, it amazingly does.

We're back on the radio tonight Sunday night in the
Monday eleven PM in the West, on Sunday night, two
am on Monday morning in the East, four hours of
sports chatter will react all the things that happened here
on this Sunday in the NFL. So we look forward
that and whatever else happened the baseball season winding down
(30:03):
with the World Series coming up, so we got it
all to look forward to. I'm excited about that, Gasca.
It's a fun time. It is a really fun time,
especially because the Dodgers offense woke up a couple of
days ago. But now we's see if it continues into
another week. And if it doesn't, I know you'll have
a monologue. They'll take you off the rails. See the
great thing about you, guess guys, you know they tell
(30:24):
you when you're doing a podcast, don't date the podcast.
You've just dated the pud No, that's not true. You've
just you're such a dummy, you've dated the podcast. It's
a shame on you thinking about this the other day.
Don't you think in a way that we shouldn't worry
about this because you put out so much content, the
things like they don't you know everything is not evergreen
(30:48):
with what you do anymore. Uh? Yeah, I try to
have it breathe a little bit. Don't have a lifespan
of a little while, you know, it's my goal a
little while. I don't want to have the fly lifespan
of a like a trash fly, you know, a garbage
fly or something like that. How about a squirrel or
a chipmunk? Uh in the compostmen in front of the mallards. Yeah,
(31:10):
not not long for all right, I have a great
day today. Thank you for supporting all this nonsense, and
we'll catch you next time. Be sure to catch live
editions of the Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am

Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
If you thought four hours a day, minutes a week
was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants of
the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
crackheads in the Ghetto Cutter the same as the rich
(00:21):
pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of Hot
takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with
Ben Maller starts right now. That it does. We are
in the air everywhere coast to coast, border to border
and beyond the power of podcasting. Eight days a week.
(00:42):
This will be the eighth day of the week. If
you haven't figured that out now by now, it's it's Sunday,
and it's a spinoff of the Overnight Show. And we
think our friends at my Heart the I Heart podcast
Network available wherever you get your podcasts, and it's fueled
for me. It's fueled by cameo dot Com. You can
check out cameo dot com and personalized video message and
(01:03):
all that. We thank you for supporting um the show
That Way with me, That Way, uh and David Gascon
is in here as well. Who is still trying to
get you to listen to Benny Versus the Penny? I think,
I think do she do she mcnoosh, Betty versus the
(01:30):
Penny and I have some breaking and great news as
we get this thing underway. But yes, Benny versus the Penny,
Week number five was was pretty damn good for you.
It was a great bounce back for you. And week
number six, we hope is is even better as we
can tain this long journey, turbulent journey, I guess because
you're you're dodging, you're bobbing and weaving between teams, picks
(01:53):
and the coronavirus. Because you've got a bunch of clubs
that are getting pushed back or placed on by weeks. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you're handicap. Have been games on a Friday, sometimes the
games aren't played until Tuesday. Makes it a lot a
lot of fun, makes it a lot of fun. Yeah,
that's pretty wild. It's a threading a needle, I believe
is the the clinical term for that for sure? Uh So, yeah,
(02:15):
Benny versus the Pennies on the YouTube, we do that
Friday's depending on my schedule and giscon schedule either Friday
evening or Friday night in the East, Friday afternoon Friday
night in the West. And we've also we've we've dispersed
it a little bit more. So we're gonna be doing
it on YouTube, on Twitch, on Periscope, and then hopefully
(02:40):
we can do it on Facebook Live as well. So
four different ways, possibly a fifth. But we are we
are splintering out, as they would say, we tried to
build this thing out, and we gotta obviously ten more
weeks to do that. Yes, all right, let's see. Are
you you want some questions without the mailbag? You these
are questions to get right into. We don't have a
(03:01):
ton of time. Do it out of the email bag
from the real fifth our email address, I have some
I have some email from that. Good good, because I
am finally starting to see those emails on my phone.
I'm really oh no, right, wait wait, wait, wait, very
I thought you didn't know the password. I did not
know the password, but I reset my phone to my
(03:24):
Mac and it's somehow linked the two together. Boom, boom,
it's really good. All right, let's go to the mail
bag and Jason and Rocky Mount Virginia beats leadoff. He says,
since Ben has several food dishes named after him and
a drink coming soon, that's true in Colorado. I was
(03:44):
wondering if Gagon had a dish or a drink named
after him, What do you think some good names for
that would be. Yeah, would anyone give you a food
dish as an honor? I don't know, but maybe some chili, cheese,
fries and we can call it the gas That's dumb, No,
I think how about like a can of beans and
(04:07):
called the gag on You're lame Canada beans. Nobody wants
to eat that ship exactly. Listen, that's what I'm saying.
Nobody wants to eat your food. My food dishes have
been on the menu for years. People enjoy those chicken fingers.
Kids love the Mallard chicken fingers, the Mallard Fowler at
(04:28):
the Strip Club in Lawrence, Kansas, they love that, and
Denver at the sports book bar and grill. Those are
all good. But everybody loves fries. People love chili and
of course cheese. You put that all together. It doesn't
matter what region of the country you should do. You
should do. Poutine is what you should do. But I'm
like Canadian. You know, it doesn't matter, man, Putine's a
(04:48):
wonderful meal. It is. It's really good. It's the greatest
thing that Canada has given the world is poutine. It
is true, all right. Eric in Binghamton writes and says,
dear Ben and Dave push strami or corn beef. I
would go pastrami all day if it were not for
the existence of the Ruben Do they serve such food
(05:08):
west of the four oh five? That's from Eric Eric.
I'm a pastrami guy. Uh, and I go to cats
Is well. I used to go to cats Is in
New York, but in l A it is Langer's. Langer's
Deli in l A is the go to top pastrami spot.
It's even better than the New York Deli's. And it's
(05:29):
only open till four o'clock. We talked about it before.
It's right across from MacArthur Park, where you can get
any kind of contraband you possibly want um and uh,
but yeah, that's the pastrami. My dad's more of a
corn beef guy, but I'm a pastrami guy. Guscan you
what smoked meats do you like? Yeah? I think pastrami
is the goats here. There's a spot in San Pedro
that's kind of close to where Eddie lives called Busy Bee.
(05:51):
I've heard of that. Yeah, what's so good about it? Well,
first of all, they give you a lot more of
the substance as opposed to the bread, and I think
a lot of sandwich places get lost in that where
they just have these giant pieces of bread. The slices
of bread are so thick that it kind of dilutes
the substance in the middle of it, and they just
(06:11):
contain to packet on it. Well, it's meat ball pastromy um.
The b l t s are pretty good there too,
some of the cold sandwiches. You know. Even now, my
my aunt through marriage lives like right near that, within
that neighborhood around the busy because it's in the middle
of a neighborhood. And uh, every time I've gone down there,
it's been like on Thanksgiving the busy Bees close, so
(06:32):
I haven't been able to get a delicious pastronomy sandwich.
And and I need to get there because I've heard
I've heard good things about it. It's delicious, all right.
Travis in Roseberg, Oregon rights and he says, Ben, how
would you rate the producers that covered for Coope from
best to Gascon? I mean worst? Uh yeah, I think
we've we've been through that. Uh. Guesscon obviously is at
(06:53):
the bottom. Everyone else is ahead of Gascon. So that's
all you need to know. Chris and Edmonton right since
says are you currently working on any side projects? Been
like music or art? No? Music, although I have a
few things in the hopper right now. I was contacted
by somebody the other day about a project, something that
I've thought about doing for a long time that I
(07:15):
have not been able to pull off. And it's not
I don't want to say anymore because I've been told
I have a vow of silence. I'm not allowed to
talk about it publicly. But I'm hopeful. I'm optimistic. I'll
be Benny bright Side on this Mallard Sunshine that this
will work out, and when I'm allowed to talk about it,
I will. It'll take a lot of work to do
(07:36):
this project. It will take a lot of time to
do this project, and we'll see whether it happens or not.
There's that, and you're working on anything else, guessing and
you're you claim to be an actor. You're in commercials
and all that crap that you do. Right, well, we're
in some uh, Benny versus the Penny takes a lot
of time to kind of put together and and work on,
(07:56):
so it's not it's not as easy as just flip
it on a switch and putting our mean mugs on
a on a camera screen. There a picture. So yeah,
we've been working on that and trying to have that
thing take off. It's it's original content. So yes, yes,
people think that that's like a part of the corporate
overlord structure. It's not. It's a side, standalone, do it
(08:18):
yourself type situation. That is your baby. That is your baby.
Since when like fifteen years ago. Uh yeah, I did
it on the radio for a long time and uh
and and now well we did the podcast last year,
so it goes back many, many many years. I think
the Turk Stevens you probably don't even know why he was.
He was the guy, one of the original guys. And yeah,
(08:40):
we called it originally it was it wasn't Benny versus
the Penny, it was Ben versus the coin. But then
one of my producers like, hey, it's got it's more
catchy Benny versus the penny. So we switched it up
to Benny versus the penny. For marketing reasons, we do that.
Carlos from Houston writes, and he says, how long has
the Geico for Fox Sports Radio studio has been the
Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios? And what was it called before?
(09:03):
All right, Carlos, So that's a good question. It has
been the Geico Studios for probably ten years at least,
maybe longer than that. Before it was called the Auto
Zone Studios fueled by Auto Zone. Get in the zone
with Auto Zone. In fact, if you we we have
the in the in the main studio, we have the
(09:25):
backdrop with the Fox logo all over and all that stuff.
But if you peel that back like wallpaper, they still
have on the original wall the Auto Zone Studio sign
is still in there. They didn't take it down. They
just left it up. I'm not kidding. They left the
thing up. Oh man. Yeah, so that's it, and guests
(09:47):
gone quit being jealous. Don't be a jealous, bitch. Ben
doesn't have a choice but to work from home. Cut
the guys some slide. Well, thank you Carlos in Houston.
I see there's somebody in Houston that gets it. Guess
go a nut job guys. Guy's a nut hugger, that's
what he is. I like that guy. It's one of
the only people in Houston. I like that. Like there's
five of them and he's one of them. Johnny and
(10:08):
soakaw says Ben. What happened to the instant advice line
caller that said, I'd look him square in the eye
and said you hang up on yourself? Ben Maller, Uh yeah, yeah, John. Well,
as you know, I am the mother to all the
people that call into the incident. I don't know what
happened to the guy, the guy you did change jobs,
or he decided he's not gonna stay up anymore at night,
(10:28):
or is something that happened to him and his health
and all that. These guys they come and go, unfortunately,
and we've had a lot of the instant of vice
glized stick around. But that was actually an homage to
Mark the full name guy the look him score on
the I'd say you hang up on yourself, Ben Maller,
because Mark the full name guy who got into a
(10:49):
hissy fit with me one time. That's the line that
he used. You hang up on yourself, Benn Maller, and
then so, yeah, that's the bid. I listened to that
live that was do you Those are really good shot
towards you. I could not. I did not understand why
he was blowing up at you, and then all of
a sudden, bang, you hang up on yourself. He's crazy,
(11:10):
He's nuts. Uh fun fun. I can't he doesn't listen
to this podcast. We can say that. What else do

You know you other guys can't handle working overnights. I
prefer not to. I like to sleep. Embarrassing, embarrassing us,
(11:56):
says a surprise call. The year, Alf the alien O
Pinters going with Doc Mike's Incarcerated Brother Revelation and Pinto's
Wild Animal Sanctuary. Yeah, that was pretty cool. I that
was my favorite call, Pinto. Who's I take the call
from Pinto? He's screaming and he says, I'm I'm screaming
(12:17):
at my cat. And then during the call it's revealed
that that he picked up a Bobcat and is domesticating
a bobcat as his house pet. What could possibly go wrong? Oh? Man?
What could possibly go wrong with that? Right? All right?
(12:37):
And then he says two questions for a gag on
a who do you think you are? And be? How
many mirrors are there in the gagon compound? How many mirrors?
No mirrors? No mirror in the mirror in the bathroom.
That's about it. Huh, that's not what I hear. All right,

questions fire away? All right? Chris? And the Cocota is
about an hour north of Moline, Illinois. Says ever had
sex outdoors? If so, where go ahead, guest gun the
great outdoors? Um, would you classify a car outdoors? Well,
if that's the case, then I'm in that category that
(13:20):
most people in high school start out. Maybe not now,
but back in the day. Now, I'm thinking like out
in the woods, you know, in the stakes, beach beach, Oh,

Were you out there night at night and then at nighttime?
Tallas under the stars? Did you get sand everywhere? Guests? Guns?

else do we have you? Let's see page Dan, page Dan? Oh?
This one from jet Fuel George. He says, I once
asked a girl how she liked her eggs. As a
pickup line, she answered, unfertilized. What's the best line of
girl has ever thrown at you? Alright, gascon any amazing lines?
(14:29):
Because I have a I have a cleft in my chin,
a but chin, and I had one female it said,
were you kissed by an angel? Wow? That was that
was one line. I'm not at the top of my
head here, jet Field George off the top of my head.
I'm not not recalling not recalling any I know there's
(14:54):
been some good ones, but I don't think I can't
think of any right now. Kentucky Jay, I got a
great story that I would would be perfect for this spot. Um.
I have a buddy of mine who went, I kid
you not, went to Vegas and it was raining and
we were inside actually the Marquis, which is in uh
like Excess and the wind hotels and all that stuff.
(15:16):
They're all connected. So he went inside the Marquis and
we're at this club and it was raining outside. So
when we got into the club, it was indoor and outdoor,
and my buddy went up to this chick and he said,
how about you and me go fucking the rain? Whoa?
She slapped him, and he said, what you don't like
the rain? And he fucking took her back to the room.
(15:39):
She went from slapping him to laughing at him and
fucking banged him. It was pretty wild, wow, but it
was pretty good. Who knew? All right? Kentucky Jay and
Kentucky Tay right in from Scottsville, Kentucky and have a
couple of questions here now by the way, they sent
a photo on Facebook. You're not on Facebook? Good looking family,
(15:59):
good looking for I'm a beautiful kid there and they,
you know, stand in front of some water and yeah
it's pretty cool. Uh let's see here question. Uh see,
we're asking this question from hilton Head, South Carolina. I
guess that photo must have been taken in hilton Head,
South Carolina. Who knew? Uh went eating fresh seafood? What
is your go to meal? That's from Kentucky. Jay. See,
(16:22):
I'm not a big seafood guy. I like the beer
battered fish jicks. That's That's about the only seafood I
really I wanted As a kid, I ate salmon. My
mom would make like salmon patties and things like that,
and she fed me a lot of fish when I
was a kid, So tuna, fish, that kind of stuff.
But just like, the only fish I really go for
is like a fish covered in beer batter and fried
(16:45):
with tartar sauce and all that stuff. You just tunna, Yeah,
it's about it. I'm not a big seafood guy either.
All right. Then Tay wants us to know who's gonna
win the Super Bowl. You want to pick who's going
I don't know. If I knew that, I wouldn't be here,
I'd be in Vegas making a lot of money. No chocolate.
(17:06):
I think the Chiefs by the end of the year
will will be the team. Chuck Chuck in Cincinnati on
Twitter says, do you hate the Lakers because they made
you pay for a ticket like the Seahawks did last year? No?
I didn't even pay for a ticket to the Seahawks.
I didn't even go to the game. I went to
a restaurant with some listeners when we watched the game
on television and ate some food. That's what happened. And
(17:26):
the Lakers didn't make me pay for tickets either. But
I just don't like the arrogance of the historian. I
do not like, do not appreciate it. Yeah, Latti daw nonsense.
They really should move west to the four or fives
what they should do? Lee in Phoenix says, where is
the worst smelling place you've been? Where is the worst
(17:46):
smelling place you've been? I will answer that Lee. The
worst smelling place I have been would be recently would
be the Las Vegas Strip at the end of twenty nineteen,
was walking around. It was like around midnight right next
to the New York New York Hotel and Casino New
(18:08):
York New York Hotel and Casino, and they got the
hockey arena there with the Golden Nights Arena, and there
had been a sewer league, a fresh sewer league, and
so there was raw feces that had been pouring out
into the street and we happened to walk right by
it and it was the most foul, pungent smell. Uh
(18:30):
it was horrific, and it smelled the entire strip as
far as we could imagine. I wouldn't walk the whole
thing because it was terrible to smell. But and even
some of the hotels on the lower when you can
kind of go to the lobby of those hotels there
where they have the slot machines, it smelled like ship.
What about you gus the same thing. It was a
couple of years ago. But going to the Cosmopolitan, Buddy
(18:53):
and I check in, and as soon as we checked in,
we just heard we just smelled something that was just
it's felt like death. You stayed at the Cosmopology. That's
a chick hotel. That's not it is, that's a that's
a bougie hotel designed to bring in women. Well, I
brought in women. Yeah, what are you doing standing there?
What's wrong with that? It's not a masculine hotel. Who
(19:16):
cares about how masculine it is. If there's asked there,
then you go there. But you can go there, you
don't have to stay there. We got upgraded. Anyways, they
the plumbing broke underneath the hotel and so all the
sewage dumped underneath the hotel like everything. It smelled like
it was just like what you were just describing. It
was an awful, awful smell. So they upgraded us from
(19:39):
a regular room to a sweet Is that right? Yeah,
but it was it was like that the entire weekend.
They couldn't do anything about it. A pipe Burston, and
so everyone was getting upgraded. Yes, boy, Vegas is taken
in the in the shorts this this year because of
the COVID and people aren't traveling there. And have you
seen some of the hotel's only open on the weekends
(20:00):
using during the week It sucks. Man, when's that going
to change? Giscoon? Do you have your crystal ball out?
One's that gonna change? I'll let you know, I'll let
you know. November four, November four. Is that is that? Okay?
Depending on which team wins, will be in maybe in
good shape there, Yeah, neither that will see what happens
(20:20):
with the Supreme Court. Okay, so that could be the
the difference as well. All right, very very good. Let's
see who else do we have? These are actual questions
by actual listeners. Uh. This guy didn't write his name.
He just ranted and complained about the Lebron James versus
Michael Jordan's debates on ESPN. I don't work at ESPN.
(20:41):
I don't I don't know what's going on with them. Uh,
you should address that to them, Ryan in Portland's rights
in Uh, he says Portland, Oregon is Sean Payton the
most overrated coach in the NFL. He's called an offensive
guru by multiple people. I watched one and a half
Saints games a year, and it seems like their offense
(21:02):
has been the same for ten years. Whenever Taysom Hill
comes in, he does the same thing. Yeah, well, you
know the deal here, Ryan, And when the legend becomes
the fact, you go with the legend. The Saints have
been one of the top offensive team statistically in points
and yards per game. In Sean Payton's tenure with Drew Brees,
they've been very successful. The productivity has been there. Um,
(21:27):
So you do have that put your reputation procede you right,
whether it's good or bad. If you have your tagged
as a terrible coach, that's gonna foll you around. If
you're tagged is a great coach, is gonna fall you around.
It's like Bruce Arians. Bruce Arians. The media loves him
because Bruce Arians is a blowhard and he's very verbose
and all that, so they give him a little extra
(21:48):
looks are leeway and things like that. And I guess
Sean Payton is the same way. I don't. I don't know.
What about John Gruden? Uh yeah, Gruden gets a lot
of that too. Gruden's if you look at his record,
even when he won the super Bowl in Tampa, but
the last several years as coach, he was very mediocre.
The last after that in Tampa, they were very blah,
(22:08):
not impressive, not impressive all that much at all. All Right,
what do we have next year? Let's see a couple
more of these amazing questions from Stevo, But not that
Stevo in Florida. My question is more for Ben and
not the douche nozzle from West to the four or
five Ben. Is it too soon for Kobe to be
(22:30):
involved in lame jokes now? Stevo, I think you emailed
me this as well, uh, in addition to posting get
on Facebook. So the way I'll answer that is, yeah,
I think you gotta wait a year with Kobe. I
think you gotta wait a year. So we're not that
far away actually from the year mark, because it's the
year's winding up here in sont A way a year.
(22:52):
The other stumbling block that we have is that I'm
surrounded by Laker fanboys and historians and so they're not
gonna want any kind of Bobe jokes on the air,
And that's the other issue. But if you get me
on a night when Coop's not there and Roberto is
not there, which happens every once in a while, then
it's open season. Why not? There are some good Kobe jokes.
Even Kobe, if he was alive, he came back with
(23:13):
laugh at the jokes. You think they're funny, and they're
they're mild hemans. But I think we had a way
to hear probably and especially because you're also hurt on
five seventy in Los Angeles, so you've got a lot
of liquor. Fai doesn't mow, Please grow some rhino skin. Well,
that's wrong with you. Shame on you, Guesscon, bad job
(23:34):
by you. All right, we have some other sport oh questions.
That's about it, Giscon. Do you want to do a
sport oh question? All right? Uh, Mike from americca Io
will write sin again. He says, what's the Lions chances
on the tank for Lawrence Mayhem? Are the Lions the
worst at being the worst? And you're gonna mess this up?
(23:54):
The Jets are gonna be the worst of the worst. Well,
it's a dead heat. It's a three horse race at
this point. You've got the Giants as we're doing this
heading into the last you know, the weekend, this Sunday activity,
the Giants at oh and five would have the number
one pick because of strength of schedule. Atlanta would be second,
the Jets would be third. The Lions because they won
(24:16):
a game, they would have the ninth pick. They're one
in three, they're one in three, so they would have
the ninth pick in the draft. So they have. I
hope that Houston. Actually Houston's got the eighth pick, but
that goes to Miami, Minnesota's ahead of the Lions, Jacksonville, Washington,
and the Chargers. The Chargers would have the fourth pick
(24:36):
in the draft if the season ended today and lose
a lot of money. But it goes to strength of schedule.
Is the is the big thing. I think the way
that the division is, at least to the NFC East,
the Giants are gonna fall their way into another victory.
I think this is the Jets. No matter, well, this
weekend they played, they play the Washington football team fully
(24:58):
knows the Redskins. Se figure those teams probably split the games.
So if they split the games, then that's Washington at
two wins. That should eliminate them. The Jets. They have
no obvious win the Jets because maybe the Dolphins. But
the Dolphins looked like an average type of team to me.
(25:20):
They don't look terrible the Dolphins. They're they're not good,
but they're like a six type win team, six and
ten team, which is much better than a two and
fourteen type of team. So that's the deal there. And uh,
you know the playoff matchups if the season ended right now,
guests gun. The two teams that have BIS would be
(25:42):
Tennessee they have the top record four and oh in
the a f C. And Seattle would have because they're five.
And on Green Bays even though they're four. No, Green
Bay would not five. And note Trump's form which is
so odd team with one of the worst defenses, and
the entire National Football League is up there, and the
Cowboys would be in the playoffs. From the under five hundred,
(26:03):
Cowboys would be in. They play the Rams, the Rams
of the five seed. As of right now, nothing better
than looking at playoff matchups heading into week six. Here's
your possible playoff matchups from the National Football League. Their
their games of note. Oh, that's right, games. We have
(26:24):
lots of games of note we would like to discuss
with enquiring minds. Would like to know, yes, that is
that is correct. Also, Adrian wrote in from Denver and
he actually gave us the I guess it's the call
in number. He he wants to have the Broncos play
by play guy on our podcast. On a Friday podcast,
(26:45):
Dave Logan, the Voice of the Broncos. You're a Bronco fan,
Guest guy so now that you can check your email,
you can see that number there, and you can try
to book Dave Logan as a guest on this podcast.
I could try. No, don't try to do it. You're
usually pretty, You're usually pretty wishy washy on recommendations. Know
(27:07):
that the one NFL guy we were going to get that, hey,
he couldn't do it because he had to go to
the track. Remember, oh yeah, yeah, we can get him on.
I put him on. Why don't we try to get
him next week that we can do that? No? All right? Uh?
And Andrean also says I've been shaving my head for
over fifteen years. You should too be. The barbershop is
(27:28):
a rip off, I promise. I don't work for the
Dollar shave clot but they have great shaving products, he said,
and then he recommended a certain six blazer, a six
blade razor, he claimed, as the thing why I I
did right back to him and I thanked him for
the for the tip. And I have trimmed the hair
a little bit. I've trimmed the hair. Um, let it go, man,
(27:49):
let it go. You know, it doesn't look I noticed
when I trim it it doesn't look as bad. It
looks just like I've got like a buzz cut and
there's not that much hair there, so it looks fine.
But when I weird my hair, I have fine hair
because I'm a fine person. And when I my hair
grows out, it looks really bad, like really really bad.
(28:09):
You know it's it's it's disgusted. Everybody's hair when that
grows out looks bad. No, no, but I look like
I have no hair on the top of my head,
but I have it on the side. But yet when
I trim it, it looks like it's more balanced. Ok,
I got you know what I'm saying. It's an optical illusion,
is what it is. I'm the crazy nutty professor, is
what I am. Got you? Yes, exactly, all right, that's it.
(28:34):
I think we're out of questions guessing anything else you
would like to add as an addendum to the podcast
or anything you want to throw in here. As a curveball,
B you've ended B or not to be. You're upset
because be or not to be Babylon B has become
very popular. You're bothered by this? Is that correct? Yeah?
It's um. Tony Bruno loves the Babylon be. Yeah, Tony
(28:57):
Tony has founded He's he's into it. Yeah, he that is.
I don't know how much radio he's doing these days
since obviously with what had happened recently with Serious XM.
But he loves the Babylonbie. He's all about the bab Blambi,
the bab bab Ba ba baby Lambie. So but please,

We're back on the radio tonight Sunday night in the
Monday eleven PM in the West, on Sunday night, two
am on Monday morning in the East, four hours of
sports chatter will react all the things that happened here
on this Sunday in the NFL. So we look forward
that and whatever else happened the baseball season winding down
(30:03):
with the World Series coming up, so we got it
all to look forward to. I'm excited about that, Gasca.
It's a fun time. It is a really fun time,
especially because the Dodgers offense woke up a couple of
days ago. But now we's see if it continues into
another week. And if it doesn't, I know you'll have
a monologue. They'll take you off the rails. See the
great thing about you, guess guys, you know they tell
(30:24):
you when you're doing a podcast, don't date the podcast.
You've just dated the pud No, that's not true. You've
just you're such a dummy, you've dated the podcast. It's
a shame on you thinking about this the other day.
Don't you think in a way that we shouldn't worry
about this because you put out so much content, the
things like they don't you know everything is not evergreen
(30:48):
with what you do anymore. Uh? Yeah, I try to
have it breathe a little bit. Don't have a lifespan
of a little while, you know, it's my goal a
little while. I don't want to have the fly lifespan
of a like a trash fly, you know, a garbage
fly or something like that. How about a squirrel or
a chipmunk? Uh in the compostmen in front of the mallards. Yeah,
(31:10):
not not long for all right, I have a great
day today. Thank you for supporting all this nonsense, and
