Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two a m. Eastern eleven p m
Pacific Boom. 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

(00:21):
the rich 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 in the air everywhere,
coast the coast, border to border. There are no borders
with podcasting unless you happen to live in a oppressive

(00:44):
region of the world where they do not allow you
to listen to podcasts if you have a communist leadership.
But other than that, you can get the podcast The
Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and David Gascon everywhere, because
we're doing this now eight days a week. Four hours
are not enough, and we thank you for subscribing to
the podcast. For reviewing the podcast five stars, remember that

(01:08):
that does help. It seems so ridiculous that a podcast
rating would matter, but the people that are in charge
of these podcasts look at that crap, and that is
one of the variables. They look at how many positive
reviews do you have? So that does help. You can
put it's simple to do. It's simple to do, and
you can write a little review and say how great

(01:30):
I am and how terrible Gascon is or vice versa.
It's it's all available to you. And right over there
there he is David Gascon and making his way to Uh. Really,
I saw some I saw I forget who it was.

(01:51):
I saw some asshole complaining about fans that are actually
applauding me when I come into the STI yes, yes,
that's right, Yes, idiot was com planning about that, right, Well,
don't don't ruin, don't spoil the lead, my man, don't
spoil a lead. So you know what I gotta say
to people like that, go after yourself. You know how

(02:14):
how how how do she? That sounds? Yes? For you?
People like bitch about like six seven, eight seconds worth
of material? Well, it's annoying. You're such a self centered,
sniveling little child over there. You're so vain, so vain
podcasting and radio And I was taught by a friend
who was taught by another friend that radio and podcasting.

(02:37):
You make it all about yourself. It's all about me, me, me, me,
splash water. No, yes, yes, don't be a douche. Don't
be a douche novel listen to me. It is obviously
about you, right because your people are listening to you.
But you can't sound like an asshole. Who wants to
listen to an asshole? Well, nobody wants to listen to what?

(03:01):
So you sound like a ragamuffin, is what you sound like? Well,
people do listen to a lot of assholes. They listen
to them be there because they want to hear something
controversial or they want to have the I got your moment.
So so your goal is to be an asshole. You're
admitting your sprinkles to the clown, the asshole. No, no,
I uh no, I don't think so. All right, I

(03:22):
hope not. Yeah. I agree with the person from Massachusetts
that you're just it's it's shrewd dumbness, is it's well,
it's it's also selfish. It's very selfish. It's extreme selfishness
because there's no there's no sound bites that are played
for me, you know, Latida, Mr Elitis, Let me make

(03:44):
myself better. I mean, this material is of Ben Mallard
talking what's wrong with that? You got a problem with that?
You got a problem with that. You're insufferable. It is
what you are. If you're insufferable, I am not even
on the Marquee. As you pointed out so kind in
your's a day's path. You have to earn that. You
have to earn to be on the Marquee. I think

(04:05):
it's appropriate that I can get a nice little introduction
from the people on the outside and as I walk in,
and I think we roll with that so well on
this podcast. You are they You're the supporting actor who
ruins the entire movie. You know, you know, you're you're
the sidekick that takes away from the leading actor, the

(04:26):
headline of the big name, the mega star that's on
the drawing card. Uh, and you do the things to
be the just say not. You're not just a cog
in the machine. You're the cog that breaks the machine.
I would consider myself more of the antagonist than the
that I would say, like the coastre um, they're the

(04:47):
supporting actor. But you know, to each of own, yeah, okay,
as a point out, you know, we have there's certain
roles here. You have the principal character, you have the
supporting actor, you have the character act. Yes, and he
would be the heel who thinks he's the leading actor,
the headliner. Uh, and then you just bring down the movie.

(05:12):
It could be like the anti hero. Could I be
like that? We should make it like a movie. We
should make this podcast like like you know how they
say for movie reviews, it's not a film, it's an experience.
It's not a podcast, it's an experience. We couldn't do that.
I was actually thinking about doing that on how about
this one? How about the Fifth Hour with Ben Mather,

(05:33):
the rare sequel that surpasses the original. There's only like
ten or ten or twelve ways they review movies, right,
feel good movie of the year. You know that your

(05:54):
funniest movie since blank. You're a part of a couple
of unions. Do you get to review anything from Hollywood? Yes?
Well I was part of AFTRA which became SAG and
so I do pay a little money and they send

(06:15):
us every year. This is the main reason I do
it is because my wife loves to watch these videos
the movies, because I don't. I don't want to see
they send out. You'd think they'd send good movies out,
but it's all these artsy FARTSI movies you're part of,
aren't you? In SAG too, you're part of sag right,
talk about that right now. You don't want to talk
about that. It's all about you. Your name is okay, Well,

(06:36):
thank you for that. That's right. I'm I'm the main attraction.
You are the attraction. You're learning, you're learning finally, thank god.
Films too. Right, Yeah, there's a lot of artsy movies.
Like if if I have to read a movie because
they're speaking at a foreign language, I don't understand. I'm
not watching it. It's not it's not movies on tape.

(06:58):
I'm not watching. That's not fair. There's some really good
movies that are in subtitle. I'm sure there are. I
don't want to do a Waesom though. It's not for me.
There for people like you. I don't want to watch them.
I don't want to. I want. I want to go
to a movie. I get a bucket of popcorn, I
get some kind of candy. I combine the sugar, the salt,
combine those things together, and if it's got butter, you

(07:18):
know if the fat and all that, I combine all
these things again and I want to just I want
to let lose. I want to watch. I don't want
to read. I don't want to I don't want to
have to have my face locked on the bottom of
the screen. So I see the dialogue. Who wants that?
I want to be able to relax and its kind
of be entertained. It's called entertainment. Do you like the Matrix?

(07:39):
I do. I only saw the first one, but I
quoted all the time, and yeah, there's some great lines
in that. Everyone quotes the Matrix, the red Pill of
the Blue Pill. I bring that up because there was
a night that me and a couple of good friends
were supposed to go watch one of the new Star
Wars movies and we couldn't watch it. So there was
another movie that was just random and were like, this
is gonna be either a really good movie or be

(08:00):
a really shitty movie. Let's just go buy a ticket
and watch it. And we went to watch it. Turned
out the movie was in subtitles. It was called The
Raid Ben. It was the best movie I've ever watched
that included martial arts, like the choreographed Yeah, well, keep
in mind, though, guests on part part of the reason

(08:21):
you enjoyed that so much is before the movie you
were sniffing glue. That's part of the reason you enjoyed
it because I wanted to go see a Star Wars movie.
Back in the day, when I would go to the movies,
all right, Mama mallor would drop us off. We would
pay for the first movie when the theater open up.
Usually it was about a noon start, first movies about noon. Yeah,
we would stay till like ten o'clock at night watching movies.

(08:43):
And o'clock at night that was the latest, and usually
it was like seven, but sometimes we'd go to ten.
We just all day. We just bounced the theater the theater,
la la la, la, la la la, and they didn't care.
We bought popcorn things like that. It's pretty remarkable. It's
great that was in the pre internet days. Now you
don't need to do that. Back then, we very little
entertainment back in my day. Guess god, a long time ago,

(09:07):
not that long ago. What's on the uh? What's today?
All right? So today on this podcast we have pop
quiz and we also have a riveting mail bag. All right,
so should we go mail bag first. Yeah, Ma, because
I got a couple of mail bag questions for you.
You do how do you? How did you get mail

(09:28):
bag questions? Because you don't have access to the email.
People reached out in a different way. The first one
is from I'm a Pilot. No, that's I'm a pilot
was really good last week? He wasn't great questions terble
failed to to uh to consider some good compliments to me. Um.
This one's from Gretchen and she says, yeah, everything is

(09:49):
Pergretchan Carlson. No, Gretchen Willets will Yeah, how did she
contact you? Oh, they'll tell you a second if you
let me finish. She says, every thing on the podcast
sounds perfect now that King David has fixed the sound.
Thank you. I'll be sure to post some more additional
constructive complaints if anything is screwed up. As always, Mallard's

(10:11):
god uh Simona, I think that's his name, he says,
must listen Sunday podcast. Look forward to hearing your great
takes Daily funny five stars. Good job, David Gascon. Those
are great. It's a good way to start. It was
even real. Are you just like making stuff up now?
You are such a losier making up people's names. If

(10:34):
you would actually pay attention to the audience, you would
know that people give reviews on Apple iTunes. Oh, those
are from Apple iTunes. They're just you know, hold check,
hold on. What do you mean you're gonna check? I'm
gonna confirm. What's wrong? Why would you have a problem
with me confirming if they're there, they're there, I'll find them.
You can't take my word as gospel. That is inconsiderable.
You're wasting time, You're wasting value. Did email us to you,

(11:00):
to us and the questions? I'd appreciate it if you
uh focused on that as opposed to what people are
saying on Apple iTunes. Oh oh because, oh I see,
so you don't want me to do uh okay, work
Kyle and no cow all right. A huge fan of

(11:20):
the show. But your last two pots have been messed up.
Audio noticeable, Mike cutting out, court issues. Also guests con
was on FSR on Saturdays. Audio was messed up. Check
your equipment. Otherwise, keep up the great content. Now, who's
in charge of the sound of it? You are, guests,
you were in charge. You're in charge of the audio.
People were complaining about Peter Brown the other day, and

(11:42):
I said, guest guard, does he sound okay? Doesn't sound
good to me? You said he sounds fine, and I said,
his phone sucks and there's nothing we can do about it. Yeah,
so anyways, not your ten tho dollars worth of equipment
at your studios. So here's a guy I like the pair. Hello,
guys like the show Longtime five plus? Do you're listening

(12:03):
to you? Ben? Thank you? Initially I was boycotting the
podcast the fifth hour, and after I subscribed, I couldn't
stop listening to the podcast. There you go. Ben and
David are like, all right, you don't have to read
that part, but other way around, keep doing it. You don't.
You don't have to complete exactly what he said. That

(12:24):
part wasn't important, all right, is it? Berg Berg? I
don't know. Yeah, Burger Ba, we're the bad ones. Yeah.
The cast great, except for the burn steak and catch up.
Endorsements may go to podcasts while I'm owing the grass.
That's pretty good, all right. Well, we've had a good

(12:47):
amount of podcast reviews, but we need more there. I
know the number of people that listen to the podcast,
and I know the number of people have made reviews,
it's about point one percent less than that, I would
say of the people that we have on the regular.
Let's in the podcast over the weekend. So um, do
it take a chance yourself, and this one's easier to
listen to than your money through Friday because we can

(13:08):
you know, cuss, bring up bullshit stories and guess on
a little bit different. So well, the overnight shows fine,
reacting to the news the day and as Peter Brown said,
how difficult that is when there's no news and you've
got to make it up. The great Peter Brown radio
legend giving me the ultimate compliment. Yeah he didn't. He
didn't know that. I'm in your ear or in your

(13:28):
cell phone, providing you with great content while your show.
We'll find out how great the show is on Wednesday.
We'll find out how great the show is on it now?
Is that Wednesday? Tuesday? And Wednesday or Wednesday and the Thursday?
I don't know, I don't you don't even know? See
you now? Are you gonna be able to stay up?
Am I gonna have to send you over a bottle
of no does here? How's that gonna work? Am I gonna?
You know? What I've got these stay awake pills on

(13:48):
my desk. You wanted me to send those over to
you so you can stay awake and I fall asleep
by the last hour of the show. Is that what
happens usually? Well, some people that come in there, they
can I've had I've had engineers, board ops fill in
and their their eyes. You can see their eyes. It's
like a cartoon, like an old Looney Tunes cartoon where
their eyes get heavy. You know. It's like and I'm
sitting across, you know, back in the old days when

(14:10):
we were at the radio stations, I'm sitting across and
it's like I'm watching the guy slowly fall into sleep
land and I can't do anything. That was that was
Jake or Frank ever like that with you? Oh no,
those guys are professionals, the late great Frank and Jake
was always professional. But I you understand when I was
doing the weekend overnights in the early days of Fox
Sports Radio, they were going nobody wanted to work. Nobody

(14:32):
still wants to work weekend overnight just the worst shift
in radio. Who wants to do that? You give up
your Friday Saturday, make ship money? Uh? You know, and
you're talking to a bunch of losers usually you think
the people that call in anyway, and so you're like,
what am I doing? And uh, but yeah, they would
bring guys in and we had we had some horrible
jeers with the one guy we had. There was the

(14:53):
two that stand out. The one guy that had worked
in television, but apparently TV equipment is different than radioquipment
because he missed one time an entire top of the hour.
He said the system, he couldn't figure out the system,
so he had to keep going and we ended up
I ended up doing like an hour and a half
of commercial free radio, mind you, on a syndicated platform

(15:17):
with you know, three and fifty radio stations who didn't
get to play commercials granted it was the middle of
the night because this guy couldn't figure it out. Yeah,
that's what we call a lot of make goods. Yes,
exactly exactly. And then the other one I had was
what were many bad ones, But the one I remember
right now is the guy who really didn't like sports

(15:37):
but needed the job and also apparently didn't like sitting
at the board and would sit in the back and
play back. In those days, the video games. The phones
didn't have the games. This is how long ago this
was in with Fox Sports Radio. Now you can play
the games on your phone. You stay right at the
board and pretend like you're listening. He was act the
on the other computer behind and he was playing Yahoo.

(15:59):
Yah who had all these games? And he was playing
these games on Yahoo and was not even where he
was supposed to be maiming maiming the the ship. So yeah,
that's pretty good. All right, here's some other questions here.
This is the mail bag. If you want to send
questions in. There's two ways to do it. To submit questions,
you can either go on Facebook, this is where most
of the questions come from. Uh at Ben Maller Show
on Facebook or Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com.

(16:23):
Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. If you want
your message private, uh you can send that in now.
Blind Scott emailed and he says he got the email
from men, which is great. He says, can you talk
about where everybody's listening from on the podcast, like look
at the geography map. I love it when they do that. Uh, well,

(16:44):
Blind Scott. One of the reasons that we have people
say hey, name and city on the questions in the
mail bag is so that gives us an idea where
people are listening. Now, we do have the analytics. I
have the analytics of my social media, some of the
social media pages and the breakdown by gender and by location, location, location, location.

(17:08):
I can give some of that out. All right, that's
my information. I can give that out. Do you want
me to give that out? Yeah, if you want. I
got it for the podcast and I got it for
the YouTube. Let me see, I gotta click a couple
of buttons here. Why don't you give the podcast stuff
and then I'll I'll give the social media So for
Benny versus the penny. Demographics wise, we got nine percent male,

(17:33):
two percent female. Um we have I think it's nine
United States, five percent in Europe and then five percent
in Canada only five percent and Ken, Yeah, it's up
with our Canadian brothers and sisters, and it's like a
bad job by them. It's like Toronto, Vancouver and Vancouver
and Nova Scotia. I think it was. Uh. I think

(17:55):
those are the three main cities that we're not exactly
killing it in Montreal. No, I don't know. Why what
do you get do they listen to Fox? Sports radio
in Montreal. We've been on We've been on there, but
it's it's bilingual, right is French and English there Montreal? Yeah?

(18:16):
What other numbers? You get? Anything else? I got? I
got gender breakdown? You want my social media? What percentage
men versus women do think it is? I'm gonna say, actually,
I think you're pretty good. I'll say seventy two to
According to the information I have, the Mallard Militia online audience,
ninety three point seven percent men repulsive six point three

(18:41):
percent women recorded this. Some of the cities we do
very well in, at least online. We've got Los Angeles, Hello, Louisville, Kentucky,
Cana City, Nashville, Tennessee, in San Antonio. Right now, I
don't see Boston on there. What happened? Boston was always

(19:02):
on the top. I guess I've lost the Boston audience.
I guess because of you. You've chased away the Bostonians.
Boston was always in the top five. Boston is not
in the top five. Right Well, there's a reason why
w E I fired you? So I mean that they
didn't fire me. My show got picked up by the
Sports Hub, which right now is the number one station
in the Boston market. As far as countries, We've got

(19:24):
United States, which is obviously the bulk of it, Canada,
New Zealand, I've still got my New Zealand. Guys, Australia,
I dominate Oceania, I do I dominated Oceania, and then
the other. The only other country that's listed here. You
want to take a guess, this is explain this one
to me, guest. Uh taking some random country. I'm gonna

(19:45):
say India. Uh No, the country of Ghana in Africa,
the Republic of Ghana, because I couldn't even say it.
That's in West Africa. I think, man, how what's the
what's the total on that? It's like point two percent,
But still it's it's on the list. It made the list.

(20:08):
Why would why would you be listening in the Republic
of of Ghana or Ghana or whatever it is. I
don't know that that's that's random. See here on the podcast,
you have l A, Minneapolis, Chicago, Seattle, Denver, Vegas, San Diego, Dallas,
in Portland. That's the top. All those are the top ones. Yeah,

(20:30):
it's odd that it's not the same as on the
online stuff, but it changes every week, like these these
numbers are it's just this week and the numbers change.
And yeah, plus you have people that are using like
incognito or a VPN, they won't be able to pick
it up identify proximity, but not city per se. So
and then I have the breakdown by age, and I

(20:52):
want you to know we are killing it in the
prime advertising demographics. So what do you was it? Thirty
five to forty four. Thirty five to forty four is
the biggest group of the mallam Milsia online, followed by
forty five to fifty four and then twenty five to
thirty four. But that's all and the that's all key

(21:15):
to forty four is the bulk of the audience. And
then just behind its four and we got we got
a bunch of guys in the between fifty five and
sixty four. They're big fans of the show. This the
over sixty five. I have next to no one who's
between thirteen and seventeen, So anybody who's under the age
of eighteen not gonna listen to this crap. Uh. And

(21:35):
I have a few we have a few guys a
younger branch eighteen to twenty four college age it's just
starting their working careers that are fans of the show,
and see we that's the number that's important because we
gotta get those guys to listen when they say go
older and they get into the prime demo. But anyway,
so that's those similar We spent way too much time
on that. Yes, yeah, thank you blind Scott, all right.

(21:57):
He He also says, uh, he's wondering if you ever
got your kitchen finished, Ben being remodeled after the flood.
You never followed up on that. Well, the kitchen is
not completely done yet because of the pandemic. The person
we had hired to finish the kitchen he finished the
It's a functional kitchen. It works, but there's no like
the small stuff. Uh there's no handles on the doors.

(22:21):
That kind of stuff needs another coat of paint. Um,
but we haven't finished it. Finished it, but it's like
the minor stuff. Rick from San Ramon right, So, and
he says, holy smokes, I'm sure Pat O'Brian is a
swell guy, but that interview was painful to listen to
this guy taking a shot. I felt bad for you

(22:41):
and gascon. My guess is that he had a head's
up on when the interview was gonna take place. He
probably could have eaten the burrito before or after. I
guess that's why you get paid the big bucks. Well, listen.
That is a fair point and a fair criticism Pat.
I did message Pat. We were texting. I said, hey, Pat,
can you do the podcast? This is when we record
the podcast. He said, sure, Ben, I'd love to do

(23:03):
the podcast. And it just happened to be at the time.
Pat wanted a burrito, and Pat's burrito Trump's the podcast,
so he tried to multitask and eat the burrito while
we were doing the podcast. Not the first time that's happened.
I interviewed Kareem abdul Jabbar, the all time leading score
in NBA history, Cream Abdul Jabbar, and he just happened
to be when he was eating lunch, and he didn't
stop eating lunch, and he would answer questions Kareem and

(23:25):
you could hear him chewing on whatever he was eating.
So it happened. Kentucky, Tay and Kentucky j Right by
the way, I haven't gotten that package there from Scottsville, Kentucky.
Did I wonder if they sent it? Uh Sports Market
aside Tay and j from Kentucky saying if you uprooted

(23:47):
from California, could you see you and your wife living
out in the country, saying, Kentucky. If so, would you
have a little Mallard farm endless bull nuts for consumption?
Turn off your phone? What the hell? What's wrong with that?
I could see stay focused, stay locked in. I can
see you like in North or South Dakota. Um, I

(24:11):
could probably see you in Colorado too. Colorado. You gotta
learn how to hunt. Though they have these things called
grocery stores, you don't really have to and they've already
hunted for you. It's amazing. It's an amazing concept. It's
a hobby. I would love to at some point to
get out into the Neverland area there, having my own

(24:35):
Neverland ranch like Michael Jackson, but no like you, be
uh be nice. I My brother lives in New York
and every once in a while he fasty He you know,
New York's very expensive, obviously, it's it's filthy, the crimes terrible,
the politics are horrible, and he thinks about leaving right
so I can go somewhere. He could live like a king.
If you moved to like West Virginia. He could, he

(24:55):
could own all of like the middle part of West
Virginia could be his. But and I've not. I've not
spent time in Kentucky. So I've been to the airport,
the Kentucky Cincinnati International Airport there, but I have not
spent much time there. Ron, Yes, I mention the food
there is probably fucking amazing too. Yeah, what's my kind

(25:17):
of food? Not you're a kind of food. I would
just show down, man. I spent I spent a week
in Atlanta, and I ate so much fucking fried food.
But it was all the wish. That's good. Ron from
Minnesota's has been his guest. Got really the king of
douchebags in real life? Yes, yes, that is from Ron

(25:40):
in Minnesota. Well that's a fan of the show, right,
the idiot, never write the show again. Never you're acting
like a toolbag. Calm down, calm listen. I just need
him for sixty seconds. That's it, just to download goodbye
al right. Next one from our friend in Fresno, Rick

(26:02):
Hardo and Cardo says, what are the words you can't
say on radio? On the radio, on the radio, I
was surprised that you can say bitch on the radio. Yeah,
you can say bitch. You can say ass. Now, the
way radio works, not to give you too much inside radio,

(26:23):
but the way it typically works is at night when
when I'm on. It's called the safe harbor, and the
safe harbor means that the younger people are not listening.
It's it's unrealistic that kids are listening to a radio show.
It's after ten o'clock at night until I think it's
like six in the morning. Uh. And so you know

(26:45):
a little more for you them there and a lot
of people who are a certain age will bring up
the George Carlin seven Dirty Words bit, one of the
great comedy bits of all time from the seventies, where
he did a comedy rant about the seven words you
can never say on television. Do you remember what those
words are? Guests? G No, But the other thing too?
Do you want me to give you the words they were? Yeah,
but I was gonna say. You also can't use the

(27:06):
body lead of fluid thing either, like you can't say
that he was piste on or you know, you can't
even say that, Yeah, you're not you're not allowed. You
can say piste off, but you can't say piste off,
which is the people coming up with the rules, right,
the obscenity police and what are you doing? You know

(27:29):
what I'm saying? I mean, what are the seven words anyway? Uh?
George Carlin? Bit Carlin's seven words were ship, piss, fuck, cocksucker, motherfucker,
and tits. But it's more than that. It's more than that, right,
It's there's certain phrases you can't say. There's I would

(27:51):
say now, um, the other F word that's a cigarette
in England. You can't say that, right, Yeah, you can't
say that one. I mean there's stuff I would never
say anyway, But there's things that you used to be
able to say that you can't say now. Yeah. It's unfortunate.

(28:12):
So yeah, you're tied down. Yeah. Well it's like we
talked about with the Great Peter Brown radio Legend Friday podcast.
If you missed it, Peters, like, I can't do this now.
I could sense it true, called the principal's office the
indecent seat place. He was so right about that, Like
you do this job for long en if you get
a radio show and after a while you're like, okay,

(28:33):
my goal is just make it through. So I don't
get the email of the text he I'd like to
have a word with you after the show, which is
even worse because on the other side of that you
get guys that just stop. They talk strictly in platitudes,
and then they're canonized like wait a minute, yes, yes,
are you talking about you have no substance to your ship? Yeah,
say nothing interesting, and you just kind of coast along,

(28:56):
and there was like, oh, what a great host, what
a wonderful host, hall of I've always been fascinated by
that because they just I call him like the genetic
generic brand talk shows that's never interesting, never I guess
would say never boring, but never interesting. Just that kind
of plays it down the middle, right in the middle
of the road, never takes any chances, and and that

(29:19):
that person can have a very long career, very long. Alright,
moving on here, who do we have a sue from
Round Rock Texas suit. You're part of the six percent,
so congratulations here in the six percent, have any athletes
called the show to defend themselves over comments or criticism

(29:39):
you made of them on the air? Uh, well, sue,
not really calling into the radio show. I have had
some confrontations in locker rooms with athletes who did not
appreciate what I said. I've also had some awkward moments
face to face. I used to destroy Cordell Stewart of
the Pittsburgh Steelers in the early day as and then

(30:00):
I goofed on him and I ended up getting a sign.
This was like the two thousand two Pro Bowl, and
I got a sign to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii,
and so Cordell happened to make the team as a
like replacement guy. And I'm interviewing Cordell at a little
card table in the end zone at Aloha Stadium there,
and it was it was a little nicy. And then

(30:21):
I also remember, oh man, what was the guy's name?
He was the coach of the Jets. And then he
went to Virginia's. Remember the remember the coach al Grow?
I was all Grow, I think was the guy's name.
Type No, No, not that old Jesus Christ al Grow.

(30:42):
Though he was the head coach at Virginia in the
first part of the two thousand he coached the Jets.
He was a Belichick guy. But anyway, I used to
kill all Grow all the time. And uh, but the
funny thing about that, I guess it's not really directly
related to what you said, so, but it's it's indirectly related.
So we add Al Grow. They booked al Grow as
a guest at Virginia pulled some upset what you know,

(31:04):
this is a long time ago. Virginia pulled some upsets.
We had Al on after the show and Al proceeds
to say how much he loved me doing the show.
And then I realized that Al would listen the last
hour or whatever on his way to the football facility,
and he didn't hear the times I was ripping him,
so he never heard me criticizing him. He only heard

(31:24):
the show the last hour when you know I didn't.
His name never came up, So that was weird. That
was awkward. You know who else used to listen to
sports radio? Bill Belichick? How about that Bill Belichick? When
he was insistent for parcels with the Jets, he'd get
up early to go to the Jets facility, and he
became a listener to Joe Boningo, who was doing the

(31:47):
overnights at w f A N. And I met Joe
years ago at a Mets game in New York, and
Joe told me the whole story like they became pen pals,
Bill Belichick and his overnight guy because Belichick listened to
him on the way to the silly and they became friends.
And they're still friends. They still they still talk to
each other. From what I understand lest I heard, that's
pretty wild. Yeah. Who else do we have here? Let's

(32:09):
see page down John the jailer, Allantown, Pa, Ben and Gyascott.
If you win a lottery jackpot, would you take the
lumps some or the annuity payments? You want to go
first on this guest? Yeah, I gotta go to lumps some.
There's nothing. Nothing's promised. Tomorrow is not promised. Does it?
Does it transfer to your family if you if you
take the annuity if you die, does it go to

(32:31):
your loved ones? That's a good question. I don't know,
unless maybe if you set it up in a trust.
But oh that's good. Yeah, the trust is Did you
have a trust? I don't. My trust is the way
to go. We talked about doing it, but we've we've
not We've not done it. That's the way. Then you
can have a trust fund man. That'd be big. Protect
the assets man. The way to do it doesn't cost

(32:52):
that much act I haven't done I have talked about
I'm gonna get burned by that. I haven't done it.
But I should do it, would do it? Uh So
I think you take the one time cash payout unless
you're in really good health and you're planning on being
in the house and not leaving the house and taking
any chances and making I'd be so paranoid. But I

(33:14):
gotta you know, I can't. I gotta stay alive. I
gotta you know, I gotta make all this money. And
but I think money in hand, right, don't they say?
Financial people say take the money because money today, the
value of money goes down year by year. So the
value of your winnings will if you take the full amount,
will actually be less than taking the lump some payoff, right. Yeah. Plus,

(33:37):
I mean you could put that money. You could take
all that money in one lump some buy stock and
diversify your portfolio real estate, stock, mutual funds. I want
you to know, I just got a message I get
on my app here that I got a dividend fourteen
cents fourteen cent dividend from Boom from one of the

(33:59):
mutual funds that I invested in. What do you what
do you? What do you? What? Are you mocking me?
I'm not. I feel like you are. I feel like
you are a fourteen cents It's fine. I guess well,
it's I don't have a big position on that stock.
I don't how's your how's your position? And Apple? And Tesla?

(34:24):
Do you want me to let me look here? Hold?
It's like as the markets are closed on the weekend. Yes, yes,
I'm gonna I'm gonna check as as what it was,
and uh, yeah, you know, let me see here. I'm
actually yeah, I'm ahead on Apple. I'm ahead on it.
It went down. It's kind of stabilized though. There was

(34:47):
that big spike after the split, which my guy, I
told you, one of my financial guys, said, you gotta
sell it. You buy it before the split and then
you sell it after, and a lot of people did that.
But it's still Apples a good company. It's not. Yeah,
that's why. That's why I had to send out a
personal letter to one of the fans. I'm a pilot
because the airline industry just getting decimated over the last

(35:10):
couple of days with with layoffs and furloughs and potentially
Moren's you're the one that's saying to buy airline stock
because it's gonna bounce back, And isn't that you? Yeah,
but I'm saying these for long plays, not for a
short term. Well yeah, and I did make I invested
in some gambling companies. One of the ones I invested
in hostile take it William Hill. Did you see that

(35:31):
William Hill? Caesar's. Caesar's is gonna apparently buy William Hill.
Oh man, I read that online. That's a good that's
a good play. Right. I didn't plan on that. I
didn't plan on that, but I have a pretty big
position on William Hill. And uh if Caesar's is worth
more than much more than William Hill, right, yes, hold on,

(35:51):
see let me type in that's a good job. I see.
I I looked at draft Kings and oh my god,
that's like way more so. How does it work? Does
it immediately just become Caesar's or does it get I
think they send out um, I think they well for

(36:13):
the employees, you mean it for you? For me? I
don't care about the employees. I care about me. That's
a good question. Yeah, Caesar's to buy William Hill for
three point seven billion, good Wow, three point seven billion
US casino operators. Caesar's Entertainment agreed back on Wednesday to
buy the British based gaming group William Hill. Wow. Now

(36:36):
what do they do though in Vegas? Because some of
the hotels that don't have their own sports book used
the William Hill and they're not Caesar's properties. So what
are they gonna do? I wonder if they're gonna use
the William Hill brand. It'd be interesting. See. But yeah,
there's the big news. I haven't heard you'd be this
excited about that something like this a long time. Wow?

(36:58):
Why because I usually when I I I bought the
weed stocks that blind Scott gave me, and let me
let me check what the value of that is. Right now,
hold on a second, he's hold on a second page,
down page. Yeah. It uh was originally about fifteen dollars
of share. It's now less than five. It's less than five. Yeah,

(37:21):
thank you, blind Scott. Never take financial advice from a
blind guy. There you go, don't don't do it. I'm
more questions, more questions. Eric in Binghamton, right Sin says, Hey, guys,
being that you work in l A, how often do
you see people that have been butchered by plastic surgery.
I find them terrifying. Also, what are your thoughts on

(37:42):
enhancing one's self? All right, Eric, So, first of all, yes,
I obviously I have seen a lot. I live east
of the farm. Most of these people live west of
the four or five, So guest Scout is just surrounded
by them, the beach bunnies that need that it will
talk and pinsion, you know all that. So you've about that,
and uh, it is it's very weird. Especially I feel

(38:03):
bad for the women that get so much botox they
can no longer smile, you know, like the it's just
and their their forehead looks all puffy and it's just
it's bad. It's bad. But as far as like enhancement,
my theory has always been that if it's an operation
that's too far, I feels like a pill or something
like that. Can you know, we sell a lot of

(38:24):
those pills, those blue pills on the radio. That's fine,
But if you have to go and have an operation,
like every time you go under anesthesia, there's a chance
you're not coming back, so try to limit that, all right?
Is that sound advice? Guess? Is that that's great advice?
I went, I had to go visit a friend for
some prescription medicine the other day. And she works at

(38:44):
a prestigious hospital here in Los Angeles, and she was
talking to uh, an account representative that was looking to,
you know, set up a partnership with you know, pharmaceutical
sales and stuff like that. And this woman had glasses on,
but I thought she had gotten in a fight. And

(39:05):
so when she introduced herself, we were about six to
ten ft away from each other and we had a
casual conversation. She went off and I was talking to
my friend. I said, what was what was wrong with her?
Like it looked like she got him a fight. She said, yeah,
she had something wrong with her botox surgery two days ago.

(39:26):
And uh yeah, she's she's keeping everyone at arms length distance. Yeah, hey, listen,
we're all gonna get old. I know, vanity is a
tenant of human nature, and we all want to look
good and you look good, you feel good and all
that ship. But we're all gonna get old. And you know,
I wish I had more hair, but it went away.
Nothing I could do. It's blame my parents and my

(39:48):
you know, whatever, who decides what who you're what what
hair you have is your mom's dad mom's. Yeah, So
I should blame my my uncle from Springfield, Mass or
my uncle my grandfather from spring Old, Mass and blame him.
And at least he gave me some Yiddish I can
say on the radio. So that's where I learned my
Yiddish from my grandfather who apparently didn't have hair. And

(40:09):
now that I think about it, he always had a
hat on when I was a kid, so he Yeah.
But it's amazing how much work people do out here.
In my next life, I want to be a plastic
surgeon because these dudes are making money hand over fist.
Oh yeah. And l A town like l A, Oh
my god. And in l A Miami, New York, who

(40:32):
everyone's so vain, the starlets are vain. True. Would you
ever consider doing botox? No? I don't. I'm ugly anyway,
I don't need botox. Do you know the six Characteristics
of Human nature? Based This is a study that was
done a few years ago. This is based on a

(40:53):
study of human action. The six characteristics of human nature?
You want to go six to one or one to six,
six to one, six to one, vanity? Right? We according
to this that we all consider ourselves superior to others
in many ways in terms of intelligence, personality, appearance, wealth,
and so on. So we're vain, all right. Number five

(41:14):
is ignorance. That is the fact that we make decisions
based on incomplete information. We don't know everything on a subject,
for example politics, people make opinions based on ignorance. They
don't have all of the information, but they they have
a team and you know, get the point, all right.
Number four self interests. We primarily act from our point

(41:37):
of view, selfishness, self centered. It's a part of the
survival mechanism. Right, you have to act for yourself, inshies,
you have to keep yourself alive. Number three ambition. This
is something you're lacking in striving to improve the quality
of our lives, make things better, make make it better
for your kids. Right, how often new parents say that

(41:59):
I want the world be better for my kids. It's
odd that every parent has Almost every parent who's been
around has said that, and yet say how funked up
the world is? I don't get. It's like politicians saying
in the world's terrible, vote for me, and you know
it's okay, every pole I'm gonna stop up until now.
At least I'll give the Democrats credit because they don't

(42:19):
really care about crime. They're okay with it. But for
my entire life, it was like, hey, I'm gonna solve crime,
you know, Republicans and Democrats. Uh, what else? We have
greed agreed a large pieces of cake? Right, if you
have a choice. It's like, it's like that thing with
fast food restaurants. Remember people said, oh, the fast food restaurants,
these supersized cups and all this is bad. So they

(42:41):
gave healthier options. Almost no one chooses the healthier options
because you want the biggest, you can get the most
for your money. You want the supersized fries. You don't
want the small fries. You want the large drink. Not
that McDonald's had that. Remember they had the thing where
you can get any sized drink for one dollar. How
many people are going in there? I think the small cup.
I don't want the large cup. Alright. Number one, the

(43:04):
number one characteristic of human nature laziness. You look for
the easy road out, You look for the easiest way
to accomplish something. There you go, alright, moving on, let's
see here, page down, page down, mark from the I e.

(43:26):
Are the Jets the Raiders of the East, or are
the Raiders the Jets of the West. Well, how about
right now, Mark, you have to say the Broncos. I
know that's a good cheap shot at the Raiders, but
see the Broncos. Pierre from Springfield says, Ben, who did
you replace on the weekday overnight shift when you switched
over from the weekends. I'm becoming more and more forgetful

(43:48):
every day. I vaguely remember Tim Ryan and George Sadano. Uh, yeah,
I believe let me think here, and then yeah, it
was JT. I believe it was just Saddonal left he
got some TV job somewhere, and then Ryan had been gone.
I think JT was doing it. And then I got replaced.

(44:08):
You know who replaced me? When I got let going
on nine No. A taped the Sports Soup A tape show, Yeah,
tape show overnight, which was just highlights of the day
that they edited together, the Sports Soup. I got replaced
by tape. Yeah. Embarrassing. I don't thoughtful, Mike writes in

(44:31):
He says, why is it, Ben? And that every team
you like chokes on the big one. That's bull crap. Thoughtful, Mike,
that's not true. That is not true. Carlos and Houston,
How long did it take you to get into radio
as a weekday guy? Uh? Surprisingly not long. I worked
in San Diego at the mighty six ninety in the

(44:51):
early nineties. I was a reporter for three and a
half year. I started as an engineer board op, did
a little produce, see not much, mostly on the field
as a reporter, and then they opened a station in
Los Angeles. I got transferred to the l A station
from San Diego, and it was within four years. Within

(45:13):
four years, I got my first hosting hosting year. I
just start on the weekends and then I got a
weekday show by like year five. I don't think I
actually was actually sooner than that. I think it was
like year It was the end of year three, year three,
just before year four. Valls fan, Jimmy Vaalster, I help
you feel better, Valls fan, Jimmy send an email. He's
having all kinds of some issues there in Fayetteville, Tennessee.

(45:34):
He says, who would you rather see won a championship?
At first? The ass Strows or the Lakers? Pick one? Yeah,
I mean, there's no good answer. There's no good outcome here.
It's it's like, would you rather be taken out and
burned alive or would you rather be taken out at
the bottom of the ocean and had not have enough

(45:55):
air to breathe? Uh, the outcome is gonna be the same.
The outcome is gonna be saying. Now, I will tell
you that I'm surrounded by many more annoying Laker historians,
but I'm two out the NBA. Now, I'm not really
into that. I moved its baseball. I'm in the baseball playoffs.
I don't think anyone's watching these NBA finals games, so
at least no one will see them if they if

(46:15):
the Lakers do end up winning the title. Uh, let's
see who else? Do we have your page down? Keith
and Norkhaw says, if the two of you would agree,
would you be open to a the two would agree,
would be open to a verbal octagon? Trump and Biden
say yes. If if President Trump, who we know he

(46:36):
has the hotline because he calls Clay Travis all the time.
If Trump and Biden I want to come on the show,
We'd love to put him on. No Sleepy Joe versus
the Donald How great would that be? Be tremendous? Let
him go at it, And unlike the moderator of the
debate last week, I'll gloves off go at it that.
That's the last round of the verbal octagon. You're both

(46:58):
in there. It's a steelcage deathmat. So steel catch deathmatch.
Bobby from mend in Michigan rights and he says, Ben,
can you openly admit that Donald Trump is the reason
for the Big Ten playing football this year? Uh? Sort
of follow up here, he says, what do you think
was more of a disaster the debate the other night

(47:19):
or the Clippers season? Asking for a friend, he says
he loved Vinny del Negro. Uh. So he asked a
lot of things. First of all, I didn't think the
debate was horrible. I love how people get all worked up.
Oh I didn't like that debate. That debate was fine.
He went back and forth. They were talking over each other.
It was not the worst thing in the world. People
are making seem like it's the worst thing, or it's
just another thing to complain about. People love to complain. Uh.

(47:42):
And the Clippers was a bigger disaster by far. It
was ridiculous and did Donald Trump? Is he responsible for
the Big Tent? No, Uh, he's not. He's not the
reason the Big tents, but he helped. But the reason
the Big Ten's playing is because of money, because they
looked at how much they were gonna lose with their
television partners, and TV is really the one calling the

(48:04):
shots on this, don't kid yourself. And plus they realized
how small the Big Ten would look when you look
at the Southeastern Conference playing and the a c C playing,
and the Big Ten likes to think of themselves on
that level as the SEC. They're not, but it would
have been really a disaster if they had not been
able to pull off the season there. So who else

(48:29):
do we have here? See page down, Page down? Can't
read that one? On the air, Christian with Cocota, Iowa,
which is near Dubuque, Iowa. How is the Penny cam
coming along? If the Penny could talk, it would be disappointed?
It is the co host of Penny versus the Penny
and get zero camera time. I think the Penny doesn't exist,

(48:53):
just a sound effect proved me wrong. Well, guess gun,
this is up to you here. Why do we not
have the Penny? Well? As you know, Ben, you can't
prove uh, you can't prove something false. You can't prove
a negative to be to be inaccurate. So we don't
have well, you have so many cameras, and the cameras

(49:13):
are focused on you myself, and that's about it. So
I think what you should say, gass On here is
you should admit that really what this is about is
any camera time the penny got would be less camera
time for you. Well, be less camera time for both
of us. So I don't care. I don't like being
on camera. I'm in radio. I went to radio for

(49:34):
a reason. I do not like being You just started
bragging about your fucking mic flag banner because it covers
up dummy my face. It's you can see less of
me because I put the mic right in front of
my fat face when I'm talking. You have a giant head.
Nothing's covering that thing up that's coming up part of
my head coming up like part of my nose or
whatever your neck. That mic flight's good looking in it's good.

(49:57):
That's a sharp mic flag. It's alright, that is a
good looking fucking mike. FLO have to overplay this solid pops.
It's got the wild Factor, it's got the razmatasks, it's
got it. It's got too much wide in it, Chris
and the Cocoa, Iowa writes, and he says, this is
another question from Chris. Would you accept porn hub as
a sponsor if the price was right for the penny bit?

(50:20):
Of course, guest Scott, we would not turn down porn hub,
would we know? No, we'd love porn hubs. One thing
about porn and men and women both. You know, women
like to pretend like they don't look at the I
think they look at it too. I think everyone's occasionally
might not watch a lot, maybe you only watch it occasionally,
but everyone's checking that stuff out, the views on those websites.

(50:41):
Remember I used to know a guy that ran part
of ESPN's website, and he was, Hey, you know, we're
very popular, but we're not porn popular. You know, It's
like that's a different level. That is a different level
of popularity. Pierre from Springfield, Right, Since this is what
happened to the guig Fox Sports Radio Studios, please tell

(51:02):
us that Geico was triggered by Real Talks Live commercial
read prior to asking you his salacious spider Man question. Uh, no, Pierre, no, no, no,
I mean Geico is still a big advertiser. I just
recorded some Geicoqueen commercials for Geico which will be playing
and probably are playing right now on Fox Sports Radio.

(51:22):
But no, I mean we've added Farmers al right, first
a word from Farmers. We've added that as a sponsor,
and so the sponsors move around. And the one thing
about the advertising game is that companies will buy spots
for a certain period of time and then their ad
budget changes and they'll stop, and then they won't pay
for the ads, so we don't do the ads. And
for example, like Sleep Number, a Sleep Number big advertiser.

(51:45):
Right now, they're not to my knowledge, I don't think
that they've ad add by right now, but they'll be
back and then we'll be able to do Sleep Number
commercials and all that. So it's cyclical, right, cyclical? Isn't
that how that go? Cyclical? Seasonal? Seasonal? There you go
seasonal exactly. I think that's good for the mail. But
I want to do a few of these these wonderful

(52:06):
pop quiz questions. Sure, all right, Uh, these are questions
I find scouring the internet. I will ask as gun.
Now I will also ask you and see if you
get it right, you can play along with the bit alright.
So on average, Americans eat a hundred and sixty pounds
of this every year. French fries. That's a good guess.

(52:26):
But no, oh what pizza? No peanuts. It is a
renewable resource. Um, renewable resource, well kind of, it's a commodity.
Oh you're you're drowning a corn? Oh corn, that's whack

(52:49):
corns and everything. Though, my mom that she rest in
peace at a corn allergy she picked up later in
her life. What a pain in the ass. Everything's got
corn in it. Everything. She couldn't even eat a little
piece of corn without being, you know, having a reaction.
That's interesting. She didn't have it until she got older though,

(53:10):
so it's weird. It's like, how do you not pick
that up earlier? You know? So if you have it anyway.
A new report says the average child does this roughly
six times every single day. What is it a child?
A child pick their nose. Now, if you're a nose picker,
you're doing it more than six times a day. Yeah,
I was a nose picker. I love picking my nose.

(53:32):
Are you still a nose picker. No, no, not. I
bite my fingers though, my fingernails. You're not supposed to
do that. It's not supposed to be finger looking good.
But I do it. I'm a rebel in the age
of Corona. I still bite my fingernails. Do you a
nervous wreck? Do you bite your fingernails after you visit
the park? No? I try not to, not trying to

(53:53):
wait what it paid off? Say I'm bored six times
they kiss I'm bored. The crime of the century for
a child to be bored. Can't be bored. Despite all
the TV ads and there have been tough and radio ads,
fewer than ten percent of households have tried this service.
Oh um, this has been a big advertiser for us

(54:16):
over the years. Not now, but it's been a lot
of that. There was a lot of money that came
into this, this business startup money, right, gambling? No, those
meal kits, oh yeah, I remember that. Hey, all the
food you have to make it yourself and it will
give you instructions. They're healthy meals, and yeah, I did

(54:37):
that for a while. There's a couple of spots near
our work that would do that mill prep. They were great,
but they went out of business. Oh yeah, because not
enough people did it. Yeah, that's the problem. And the
other thing is people often like to portion size. They
want their own, They want to decide what they want
to eat, you know what I mean. They want to
all right. The first location of this now national popular

(54:59):
casual food chain was originally called Open Kettle. Oh fuck,
um it is not. Oh fuck you want the location, No,
I want the name of what it is now originally
called Open Kettle, but it's now known by a different name,
and name has been known for for years with Denny's

(55:23):
No Duncan Donuts. Duncan a staple on the News Coast Boston,
every other corner in parts of Boston, Duncan Dun't. I
wonder how many are actually inside Logan Airport Duncan Donuts.
Like you know in l A. There's Starbucks everywhere Duncan Donuts,

(55:43):
And there's a lot of Starbucks in Boston last time
I was there. But the Duncan Donuts, my godwhere It's insanity.
Before before Hurricane, the two top selling items at Walmart
traditionally have been beer and this snack, the snack um
beef jerky, little beef jerkey is it beef jerky pop tarts?

(56:08):
Beer and pop pop tarts make sense two reasons. Number one,
they're cheap. Number two, you can eat it whether it's
cold or whether it's warm. The problem is, though, with
pop tarts, is there's only two in a packet. Yeah,
you buy boxes of them, Yeah, but what is the
boxes only hold six? Right'll go to buy a case

(56:28):
at wom I don't know by as many as you want.
But it's a good food because you can. It's it's
ready made, it's got sugar all over, it's covered in sugar.
I used to love pop tarts. Oh my god, I
was a pop tart guy. Pop tarts is still good.
I haven't had a pop tart in years. I used
to love him. I haven't had. That was my breakfast
pop and my mom got me off the I used
to eat the cereal which was like little chocolate chip

(56:51):
cookies in the in the bowl. And then I had
the one that was just little cinnamon rolls in the
bowl and I love those. And then eventually I moved
over to pop tarts. All right, pop quiz will do
a couple more. A new survey says that people have
a habit of doing this before taking a bite of
their food. What do they do? Coffer sneeze? No, they

(57:12):
salt the food. I'm not a salter. Are you a salter? No?
I used to be with French fries. Yeah. I don't
do that, but not anymore. Yeah, I'm I'm I'm good.
Actually I put salt on steak back in the day.
It's not good for you, the sodium. Yeah, well salt.
You can put salt on a steak. You put sugar
on a steak? No, no, no, little sugar on the

(57:34):
I think that that's a will pop to it. My, my, my,
really fat days. I would marinate chicken breasts with karyaki
sauce and salt the funk out of it. Oh yeah, yeah,
the taryaki steak is pretty good. They I get occasionally
go out to the restaurant. All right. This eighties movie
theme was a one hit wonder for its composer, who

(57:57):
never had another song in the top one hundred mm
hmm making eighties movies. This hit, Oh man, do do
do do do do do do do Do Do Do
Do do do doo to drive No, it was Chariots
of Fire. Remember the song from Chariots of Fire. Evangelists

(58:18):
only watched that movie. Want you don't need to watch
it again. It's like, it's not gonna change. I'm not
gonna change. Several countries host national championships for how far
someone can throw this common item that you likely have
right now on your possession. Ah, shoe, no cell phone?

(58:41):
How far can you throw a phone? Of women and
about a third of dudes bring this with them when
they travel, gems, god, uh no, a pillow. It's always weird.
I remember traveling a lot, going at airports. You're sitting
at O'Hare airport, right, you're waiting to change planes, and

(59:03):
you see this like these usually like teenagers walking through
and they're holding pillows. So dramatic, right, that's what I'm saying.
What are you telling you know they have pillows at
these hotels you stay. It's amazing shocking. I need a
pillow to sleep at my airport. Yeah, well exactly, because
not only they need it on the plane, but then
then you know they're taking it wherever they're going and

(59:24):
they're gonna alright. Of men only do this on the weekends,
watch their car, call their mom. Oh, how often you
talk to Mama Gasco. I talked to her almost every
other day. Yeah, I was in every day. I'm a
mom's boy. I wish I could call my mom. I

(59:44):
would talk about them every single day. I loved it.
But I know weekend stuff. But that's how I roll.
I'm a better person, guess clearly. Oh what else do
we have? All Right? Guys say that this is one
of their fondest memories growing up. What is it? Going

(01:00:08):
their first athletic event? No shaving, shaving for the first time. No, no, ship.
That's like a sign of manhood. That's like a rite
of passage. That's like, hey, I'm a man, I know
how to shave. Now that's a big deal. No, not one.
Let's all cracked out to me. Let me tell you. Yeah,

(01:00:30):
because then you realize, for the rest of your fucking life,
you gotta deal with that. And you gotta buy razor
blades that cost twenty five dollars a pack and they
give you like four of them. Yeah that's a scam. Yeah.
I give the razor blade community credit because what they
have done is they've modeled it after the the cell phone. Right.
The key to business is to get monthly payments, and

(01:00:51):
so there's a lot of these these razor companies like hey,
you know spend pay us. You know, ten dollars a month,
will send you razors every month, dollar shaped club. The
razors cost about anything to make those razors like two bucks. Yeah,
straight profit man. Good for them, Good for them. It
is convenient getting that stuff sent to your house and
not having to go to the store and buy them.

(01:01:12):
Of men, I think this makes them more attractive, but
only of women agree. What is it cologne? No, this
is something you actually have Gascon muscles. You don't have that.
An ear ring. You don't like to talk about that.
I know you take it off when you get photo.

(01:01:33):
But Gascon has an earring. He has a pirate hearring.
What was it like late eighties orly nineties, There was
like that phase where guys would get ear rings. T
O right, remember t O was a big guy, had
the t O earring thing going like Patrick Dempsey do
that and license to drive? An ear ring? Is either
one to blame is who started that? Somebody had to
start that. Michael Jackson, I don't know. Almost one in

(01:01:58):
four men refused to day they one and if she
has a blank if she had as she has a kid.
Uh no, it's probably higher than that. For that, unfortunately,
I'd go the actual actually answer is twin sister. Oh wow, wow,
what a four? Yeah, why would that be? I don't

(01:02:19):
know that I would because of the switch you would want.
I'll see you perverted though your your mind why you
would want a twin sister is different than the mind
of the the guys like these guys are probably like
oh no, because it's because you don't know if you
have the good twin or the bad twin, right, it
isn't usually when you have twins ones the good one
ones the bad one. But if it doesn't work out,
then defer to the other one. I'm sure. Sure, little

(01:02:42):
they go on. I wonder if that's like the same
way with women like the Morris brothers in the end,
remember the Morrise guys would try to look exactly like
each other. They have the same tattoos, Markieff and Marcus Morris,
who both ended up playing in l A. All right,
I think that's good. Guess you got places to go
and things to do and things like that. Yes, all right,
