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, think again. He's the last remnants of the
old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats crackheads
in the ghetto gutter the same as the rich pill
(00:21):
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. The immense
power of I Heart and podcasting, the global reach of
(00:43):
podcasting all over the I Heart Podcast. Now we're going
anywhere you get podcast we do. Thank you for downloading,
subscribing to the show five stars. Remember five stars. That
helps us out. It seems lame, why would anyone care
about that? But the people that are the overlords of
the podcast game that does matter to them. So I
know it's a pain in the ask to do it.
(01:03):
Nobody does it. I don't do it, but if you
it's a it's a way to help out the podcast
and do it. It's free. It's free to do it.
So you can help us out by reviewing the podcast
and also just telling telling people I've told the story before.
I had a guy who I don't even know, he
is a fan of the show in Colorado who recommended
our podcast to a woman who I had dated years ago,
(01:26):
who moved to Colorado, and she contacted me out of
the blue. That's what I'm looking now. Obviously, it made
me feel good about myself, but more importantly, it's word
of mouth advertising, and that's the most effective advertising. So
please keep that up. And we are joined, unfortunately from
west of the four oh five, from David Gascon who
he's making his way in here, the man that put
(01:51):
narcissism on the map. It's gonna be here. It's gonna
be the last of the four oh five. I wake
up every day a loud and proud and grateful for
that opportunity, just to strep my ship West little four
oh five while you sulk and bitch and moaning over
that burned tomahawk East of the four oh five, there's
no burn tomahawk. The tomahawk is it perfectly fine. It's
(02:14):
in a climate controlled environment. I'll make a deal with you,
how about this. If the Dodgers win the World Series,
I'm gonna cook the tomahawk. How about that? Okay, you're
gonna cook the tomahawk anyway, So no, no, no, no.
If they don't win the World's I'm gonna wait till
one of my teams wins a championship, and then I'm
gonna have a celebratory Tomahawk's day. Let's I'm gonna make
a bet with you. Are a deal with you. I
(02:35):
am never fucking getting you a birthday gift ever again.
No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no
no no ship well again yes gon alright, hey, douce, nozzle, listen,
let me explain something. Okay, I was planning on making
the steak, but you badgered me so much that as
an act of punishment for your mouth feasance. That's the
second podcast in ROW I've used the word mouthfeasance. It's
(02:56):
a big word. I'm very proud of myself. I went
to Saddleback College. But but no so because every time
you complain about it, and these these nim rods, you're
a little sick of fans. Uh. There are not many
of them from West to the four h five. But
I'm like, okay, there's another two weeks I'm not gonna
eat them. I'm not gonna eat the tomahawk because this
guy sent me a message about the time Hawks, so
I'm not gonna eat it. You're just passing out audio
(03:17):
demerits to people. Yes, tough love guests, and I believe
in tough love. It's the Mallard way of doing it.
That's why I'm critical here. I believe in hard work
and tough love. That's how I do it. Damn right
to see if the Dodgers pull this thing off. Constructive
criticism is how I do things here. They don't trigger
a lot of people. Hopefully just listen to the dot.
(03:39):
If the Dodgers somehow f this up, okay, if they
slide on the banana peal, Roberts is gone. Uh cursed.
They gotta get rid of Crusha anyway. I would not
keep him or i'd trade him, but wholesale change. Justin
Turner is not gonna be back. He will definitely not
be back if they lose the World Series. Keep Hernandez
(04:00):
bye bye, bye bye, see you later. Go down the list. Listen.
If the Dodgers blow this, I wouldn't mind you putting
that tomahawk into your laundry cart and then pushing the
laundry cart onto the four oh five onto income They're
gonna win. I got you gotta believe, Actually, don't have
to believe, but I I am still relatively confident. Not
(04:24):
knowing what has happened in recent days is where you
know this podcast was was recorded at another time. But um,
I'm I'm still optimistic. You're still optimistic. So we have
the mail bag. This is a mail bag podcast. This
is the podcast dedicated to the people, by the people,
for the people. These are actual questions sent in by
(04:44):
regular fans of the show, submitted via the Facebook page
Ben Malller's show. If you want to send a question
in every Wednesday, usually Wednesday in the morning, unless I
forget um, we we post something on Facebook and then
you can you can send yourtions in and if you
don't want everyone to know your question, you can email
the question. If you're not on Facebook, like Guestcon's not
(05:08):
on Facebook. Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Real
fifth Hour at gmail dot com. And did you did
you have your wife comment on our iTunes page? Uh?
Not that I know of. If she didn't tell me
she did. What if you're a fan of The Ben
Mallor Show Fox Sports Radio weekdays two a m. The six,
(05:30):
or even if you're not, you'll find these weekend podcasts
thoroughly entertaining. Friday editions are generally an interview conversation with
someone entertainment, sports, or communications. Saturday is a mix of conversation,
interesting survey studies, and findings. Sundays mostly listeners submitted questions
via the Facebook fan page or email. I highly recommend
(05:52):
all these podcasts and thoroughly enjoy listening to Ben power
his way through the podcast, despite of blatant attempts by
his coast to sabotage almost every episode. And it was tannled.
It was titled markis Maller? What kind of piece of shot?
(06:13):
I got it up? That's from Mario. That's the great Mario. Mario.
You get a golden ticket ticket? I just did. I
just did. I gave the man a golden ticket. That's
what we're looking for right there, That is what we're
looking for. We've got to get and how many ratings
we have like two hundred was it two ratings or
(06:34):
something like that? Can we get this is the ultimate
test here, guesscan can we get to three by the
next podcast. No chance, can we get to to seventy
by the next podcast. That's that's a chance. Yeah, that's doable.
All right. What are the odds that we will get
(06:58):
another eleven people to take time out of their lives
and spend about a minute reviewing our podcast on the
Apple podcast page. Well that's high because there are repeat
commenters on this and you even had that little guy
(07:18):
from Arizona spells everything wrong. He comments on Hairy multiple
times too, So you're such a dick. You're such a dick. Yeah,
I like the guy. I think this is probably one
of the Cincinnati bros. Might have been Justin or just
Josh who uh just see the name they use their
on the review of the the Sunday podcast. Did you
(07:40):
see that? No? I did not see that. Yeah I didn't. Yeah, yeah,
I don't think we're allowed to say that. But that's
an inside joke here at the one of the people
I work with, someone I work with that might use
an alias, or someone I used to work with or
maybe still work with. I don't know. Yeah, that's a yeah,
(08:01):
it's a reference. Are you ready for the questions? Are
you ready to slice through this? I was just asking
if your wife had written that, but now you my
my wife does not right reviews, which is weird because
she does value reviews. Like when we go back in
the older days we were allowed before the monarchy, Yeah, like,
(08:22):
oh this is great, we should try this place, you know.
And I'm like, because I know a lot of that
stuff on. It's like they're algorithms and you can pay
people to for reviews and all that. But we unfortunately,
we don't have to worry about that because the the
monarchy here in California, his majesty has not allowed us
(08:45):
to go eat at restaurants in most of the big cities,
although in Orange County it's amazing. I can go to
Orange County and you know, we live in l A.
But you go down and see my dad and go
I have a nice meal at a restaurant inside. It's amazing.
God forbid, it's not safe here where I live. All right,
Chef Scott from New Orleans, we should go hang out.
(09:06):
I don't know what restaurant Chef Scott works out. We
should go hang out with. I've heard amazing. I haven't
spent any time in nuorleances. I've heard good things. I
don't know that i'd like the food there because it's
a lot of seafood. But I did like the the
kingcake that Barbara in New Orleans sent and some of
that food looks really good. That that's gonna be picky
on it. But Chef Scott from New Orleans rights, since
I listened to a lot of Art Bell through the
(09:29):
nineties and the two thousands, even though I was never
a big believer in most of that stuff, if the
corporate mucketymucks bend commanded you to do one four hour
weekday show in the style of Art Bell, what would
be your topic, possible guests and why are you so
interested in it? And did your mom like to listen? Also,
(09:52):
And Chef Scott says, those ghosts, the ghost Halloween specials
were awesome. Yeah, Art Bell is amazing. I got to
meet Art one time. He was I don't know, if
you know, it's a bit of an introvert and I
didn't get out much in a hermit and all that stuff.
He lived in Perrump, Nevada um. And so they brought
Art in at one of the early days of Fox
(10:13):
Sports Trader, which is part of the Premier Networks, and
they had a big He used to have these big
Christmas parties in Beverly Hills. It was awesome and they'd
fly in all the big talent around the country would
come in and hang out. And um, I got to
meet uh, Matt Drudge was there. Doctor This is back
in the Doctor Laura days, um Limb Ball like all
(10:35):
the big shots, and it was it was great. You know,
they have the they'd have the main table. But Art
was part of that anyway, and so I got to
meet him one time. But if I were doing Art
Bell show as a homage to Art, uh, my mom
did listen to him. That's one of the reasons I
started listening to him. I come from a family of
night owls and uh, and so that was part of it.
But I used to love when Art would do the
(10:55):
stuff about Area fifty one and and I always got
a kick out of that. And and also he would
do a lot of shows about like cattle being mutilated
by they thought aliens, you know, those kind of things. Uh.
And then all the Kim trails would be good. Um.
(11:16):
But the thing about Art is he would he would
never say, hey, that's bullshit. He would listen to anybody,
you know, and because it made good radio. It made
good radio and listen to anybody. So yeah, I was
a big fan art. But it'd be fun. You know,
one of the guys, Steve Mason, who used to work
with it Fox, is a big afternoon guy at a
(11:36):
different station in l A now. But Steve Mason got
to fill in on Coast to Coast a few times,
and and that's that's pretty cool, know you know how
it crushed with that would be your boy Leaklin. He
would absolutely demolish that. The Prince of darkness. Yeah, I
think if you've really done that for But he would
just focus on government conspiracy. Yes, that's great. He would
focus on government conspiracies. Uh yeah uh. And then the
(12:01):
chef Scott says, dude, eat the frozen tomahawks soon. I'm
actually starting to have a smidge of sympathy for gag On.
I used to charge a hundred and seventy five dollars
for a forty two hounds tomahawk. He says it's a restaurant,
very popular. I guess he works at the Casino Steakhouse.
That sounds pretty good. Is that on? Is that on
(12:23):
the water though? What's that? Well? The Casino I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know. He didn't say exactly
where he works, but that's what he implied. And he
said he he dropped the name here, which is kind
of west of the four oh five ish. He said
that he prepared. I think he said here, if I'm
reading this right, the Tomahawks steak for Adrian Peterson while
he was suspended from from the NFL, he came into
(12:46):
his restaurant in New Orleans with a group and they
made the Tomahawks steaks. Did he did he hit it
with a switch. Yeah, that's how they tenderized it. Yes,
they tenderized it with Adrian from DTC. Where is dt CD?
You know what that know? What is is that downtown Denver? No, No,
that's not downtown Denver, Okay, he says. Anyway, wherever that is,
(13:06):
we don't know. I think he's in Denver, he says,
or near Denver. I've been trying out inter minute fasting
for a week or so and need your expert advice. Well,
you've come to the right place, Adrian. I'm curious to know.
The email continues, what you are eating when you are
breaking the fast. I'm struggling with sweets and junk food.
How strict are you with sweets and junk food when
(13:28):
you are not fasting? Not not strict at all. No,
I'm not and uh and and you don't need to be.
That's the cool thing. Now. Obviously there's dietary reasons you
need to keep track of some of that stuff. But
I fast so much I've worked up my resistance to
fasting that it's to me, it's more about the time
of it, where I'll go sixty five hours without eating,
(13:50):
which you should not do. You should never take advice
on fasting from a podcaster or overnight radio guy. But
I've worked myself up to the point. So but then
when I end the fast, um, I'll eat pretty much
whatever I want, but I'll only do it within one hour.
And you can't really eat that much in one hour
because you're your appetite while you think you're really hung
(14:10):
but you fill up pretty quick. I've noticed that. And
then I've also noticed because of the gall bladder, after
I fast for a long time, whatever I eat immediately
comes out the other end pretty quick, So it works
that way as well. Um, But I would recommend for
somebody starting fasting thirteen hours is a good way to
(14:33):
start and then work your way up to sixteen hours.
And I used sixteen hours as my baseline, but I
usually end up fasting Adrian. I try to get even
on the days I don't do along fast. I try
to get like twenty two to twenty three hours of
fasting in and then I'll eat for an hour and
then I'll start the clock again. But I've got some neurosis.
(14:57):
I I I have a lot of neurosis when it
comes to being a fat guy. My entire life and
all that stuff. It's it's messed me up a little bit.
So how about you like kind of ease your way
into eating by having fruit, Like that's the easiest way
to do it, like watermelon, watermelon, strawberries, apples, grapes, like something.
(15:18):
You know. The weird thing that I've noticed about with
the with the combination of the gall bladder and the fasting,
this is phenomenon that's happened the last month or so.
So I try to do one sixty plus hour fast
a week. My it's my Michigan, right, um, and so
you shouldn't do that, but I do it once a week.
I I go sixty I usually from Saturday night to
like Tuesday, I won't eat normally. And Gascott knows that
(15:40):
because he'll send me food porn pictures Dick that he
is anyway. Um, but I have noticed now, like when
i get to about the sixty hour mark and I'm
winding down my fast, but I've still got a few
hours left, and I'll go from my walk, my my
hiking around urban hiking. If I drink water, even water
will trigger a reaction like a lot of water will
(16:01):
trigger me having to run, make a run, I'll have
the Tennessee trots and have to go on and go
to the bathroom right away. It's weird. What if you
increase the temple on how you walk is the same thing. Yeah,
it don't really even have to walk. I think it's
just when you drink a lot of water after you've
been fasting for that for whatever forever reason for when
you fast for that long, it happens that way. Anyway.
(16:24):
I hope that answers your question, Uh, to start thirteen
hours and the key when you're forming a habit. And
I've said this many times, but it bears repeating here,
and you talk about habits and how long it takes
to have a habit, and there've been studies on this.
It to get something part of your routine. To create
a habit, you have to do something for I think
(16:49):
the numbers that like sixty six days or something like that,
and then it becomes ingrained and it's it's like automatic, right,
I mean, it's almost automatic at that point. But there's
there's a magic number to form a habit, and uh,
I'm not sure exactly. I don't remember exactly the time.
(17:09):
I think it was like sixty six days or something
like that. There's a there's a good cheat code for
him though. If you can not eat four hours before
you sleep and then max out on sleep before you
have to wake up. Like let's say you get eight
hours of sleep and you fast four hours before you
go to bed, that's twelve right there. So then yeah, exactly,
(17:30):
I mean, yeah, that's four hours you got. Now it
becomes a little more problem problematic for people like myself
who sleep about four hours a night. Um, that's a
little difficulty. So I can't really I can't do that,
guess you know. What I'm saying doesn't doesn't quite work
for me, so unfortunately, But yeah, forming habits that's the
key in anything like what people make bad habits. But
(17:53):
if you can make good habits, or at least things
we think are good habits, then that's the that's the
way go, right, What is a good habit? By the way,
do you I don't even know what a good habit?
I mean, everything's in moderation, I guess. And then they said,
but sixty six days is the number. I looked it
up here. And you had a good habit of leaving
the studio and walking around the block. I did. I did. Yeah,
(18:15):
I would time out how long the commercials were and
I would walk around the building. And I did that
for many years. And I was friends with all the
homeless people in Sherman Oaks around the I heart Media
building there, the Premier Networks building. I knew Limben. Yeah,
it's where Sherman Oaks. There's so much money in that
part of l A. But if the people only knew
(18:36):
what it was like in the middle of the night,
the the type you know that, I mean everyone, I
feel bad for people that are down their luck, but
people coming out of the woodwork and it's like a
very expensive neighborhood in l A. A lot of the
rich people you know, live up in the hills right
above there and come down shopping those stores and then
go to the restaurants and it's like man. Uh Adrian
(18:58):
also says, I want to comment on Dave Logan yet again?
Have you reached out to Dave Logan guestcott Everyone wants
Dave Logan on the podcast. I have not, he says,
If I'm not mistaken, I believe Dave Logan is the
last collegiate athlete to participate in at least three sports
year round while attending college. Well, there's a question right there.
(19:18):
We could ask Daved Logan off's true or not? Try
to get him on and see we can get him
on next week. Reach out to him, all right, Will
in Illinois rights and says, it's your biggest fan. That's right,
this is the fattest fan of the show, the great
Will And he says, checking in on the Bob page
update and he sent me an email here. Will says,
(19:39):
I reached out to Bob on Twitter and he seems
to have changed his opinion of you. In fact, he
would love to be a guest on the podcast. Uh
see attached for the exchange and I am looking at
the on the screenshots here, and Bob was very nice.
I wonder what happened. Bob was a dick before, but
(19:59):
now he's being He says, I used to work with
Ben nice man. Why would he want me on his podcast?
And then then then he said he would happily go
on the pod because that's nice. Yeah, I have nothing
against Bob. I love Bob's got some great stories. Bob,
as we've have said before, he replaced Howard Cosell on
Howard Cosell's radio show speaking of sport, and he threw
(20:21):
some haymakers on television in New York. He was on
MSG taking shots at the Knicks and and they actually
had good teams when he was at MSG. They weren't
terrible like they've been ever since. But yeah, I don't
know that we want to have Bob on the podcast,
but it's nice that he's nice, and i've you know,
now that he's made up with me, I'm good. Uh.
(20:43):
David mill Valley, California says Ben, Uh, where was your
wife a chubby chaser? Didn't did you meet after you
lost the tonnage? Um? I was losing the weight still,
I was not um the big fatty that I had been,
(21:03):
but I wasn't completely the rail that I briefly became.
So I was I was in the middle. I was
in the middle. But I don't think she's a chubby
chase Kevin in You'd have to ask her that. Kevin
and Rumford Maine writes, In says, would you rather be
facing the cheating as strows and wipe them out? Or
who cares? Just Winnie? I don't really care, Kevin, I
(21:25):
don't care. No one's gonna remember who they beat in
the World Series. Just canna remember they won the World Series.
That's it. You were your years from now, you're now
they remember they won the World Series in two thousand.
It's like who they played is really irrelevant. It doesn't matter.
Jay Dot in Utah says, do you ever wonder what
your callers ever look like? I'd imagine because of social media,
(21:46):
it's a whole lot easier to find out somewhat, Jay Dot,
although a lot of people hide with as sports Talk
Barrier would say, fake afy's the avatars they use the
different things. So I've been pretty lucky in that or
unlucky that I've the people. I'm curious what they look like.
(22:06):
The most I was able to see the one I didn't.
There's a couple that I have, and obviously I have
no idea what the late great Jimmy Ray from Tampa
Bay look like. Troy the gambling Man in Nashville Boardwalk,
Bob Um his his famous Shenanigans calling the show in
the early days, MotorCity Mike. But like like Pete and Pittsburgh,
(22:28):
I met him. There's a photo of me with Pete
and the bread Man at Permoni Brothers in Pittsburgh. But
then when we took the photo, Pete put a paper
bag on his head. But I saw him before that. Uh,
and then you you go down the list man you
had the I don't know what real talk looks like.
That's one I'm wondering. I'm curious, like what real tyche
people have had different theories on real Talk, What exactly
(22:50):
who looks like? If this is all an act, if
he's actually like a totally different than his portrayal, he's
playing a character. I don't know, But I knew what
Genie look like. I saw photos of Genie. I've seen
photos of most of the regular people. You know that
marked the full name guy because he puts his photo
up from like the nineteen seventies. I've seen that Lance
(23:13):
the bus driver. I'm trying to think. Yeah, So to
answer your question, Ja Dot, I've seen most of the
people that I was most curious about. Kyle from San
Antonio says, is this the year that Clayton Kershaw finally
overcomes his need for the Heimlich maneuver in the playoffs?
He did look great in Game one, But yeah, Kyle,
(23:35):
I'm not there yet. And there's two ways to look
at this. This is setting up for a Disney Ask
Clayton Kershaw World Series where the Dodgers come back and
he pitches Game five, they win the whole thing. It's
also setting up for Clayton Kershaw goes out and pukes
all over the mountain Game five and f's the thing up,
So we'll find him. Pierre, better known by his gangster
(23:58):
name Alf the Alien Opiner from spring Field. Right now, Pierre,
which Springfield are you in? There's like seven thousand different
Springfields anyway, Pierre says, Ben, have you given any thought
to regifting that Tomahawks steak to that vagrant in Miami?
I'm sure Gagon would be more than happy to know
that you were helping out the downtrodden. Would you be
(24:20):
okay with that? Guestcown if I overnight did the Tomahawks
steak to tweed Man, Hippy in Miami could be cool
with that? You could to Marlin's man, that's fine. Oh,
because he's got money. Well, I see what did? Do
you know what I should tell us? Because this is
for the p once. The Sunday podcast is for like
the top one percent of the p ones, it really is.
So weed Man called the show begging for money yet
(24:42):
again this week. Right, He was like, oh, I need help.
I have no food, you know, the whole thing. So
I felt bad. He's begging me send me money. I'm
not gonna send you money. So I gave him a
buzz after the call on the air, like I called
him up off the hear and I was like, hey, hey,
weed Me, let me help you out sending me money.
(25:06):
You know, he starts screaming at me. I said, what
about what about Lisa? She would send him money? No,
Lisa's not workers, she's a trainer, and there's no there's
no gyms are open, so there's no money for from Lisa.
So I'm like Okay, let me. I'm gonna do you solid. Okay,
give me your zip coe. So weed Man gives me
a zip coe, and then he starts complaining about the
(25:26):
neighborhood he lives in, which is like the you know,
the worst part of Miami, and there's people getting shot
all the time. And he's like complaining, old thing. So
my all right, let me type the zip code. And
so I typed the zip code in and then I
find all these like food pantries, food pantries you know,
for people are down to the lock to people that
(25:46):
are you know, homeless or whatever. So I'm like, oh,
I listen, there are literally like eighty of these places
around that part of Miami. So I'm reading off the addresses.
That's too far. I can't make it there. Oh. I
tried the Salvation Army. You gotta be in some program.
I don't want to be in a program. They're not
I know, you know, every single one. I didn't read
(26:09):
all eight of them because I hung up on him,
but he kept saying, no, too far, not gonna make it. No,
I don't want to go there. Tried them. You. I'm like,
oh my god, here I am thinking. I'm gonna help
the guy out and he's a total dick and just
slaps me around. Say, there you go. No good deed
goes unpunished. No good deed goes unpunished. Jason and Rocky
(26:32):
mount for Jens says, Hey, guys, I know you both
like documentaries. I assume you like based on true story
movies too. Have you watched The Founder on Netflix? If so,
what did you think. Yes, In fact, I actually saw
The Founder. I'm one of the few people that saw
it in the movie theater. Have you seen The Founder?
It's the one that Tom Hanks plays the McDonald's, the
(26:53):
croc guy Ray Croc. No, I have not. It is
a good um. Yeah, I thought it was pretty good.
The story of mcdo donald's, uh, And I like that
those kind of movies. I did enjoy it. The McDonald's
brothers and how they sold out and they they sold
themselves short and you know McDonald's becoming this major conglomerate
(27:13):
and some of the things that they came up with
that are still used today in the food industry. Yeah,
it's pretty it's pretty good. Yeah. I saw parts of
it when Michael Keaton, I think, was talking about that.
Was it Michael Keaton. What did I say? Did I
say Tom Hanks? You did? I don't know that's that's
a bad job by me. But I think Tom Hanks
and Michael Keaton are the same, aren't they? No, one
of them is Bruce, Wayne and Batman. The other one's not.
(27:35):
Both white guys. They know what the same? Jesus what nothing? Nothing? Okay?
Triggering you triggered? You need a safe space. You need
ill blast of milk and a blankie. I need to
go up to cal Berkeley and hang out. Valls fan
(27:58):
Jimmy Wrightson, he said, is some Fayetteville, Tennessee sus Ben.
Have you ever put up a fair poll on the
Overnight Show? Yes, yes, everyone I do. Is a fair
and balanced poll. I don't know what you're talking about.
Richard in Flooresville, Texas, says Benning Gascon. Favorite gaming movie
of all time mine is Let It or Ride with
Richard Drivers. I think my favorite gambling movie it's gotta
(28:22):
be Rounders. I love Rounders, Rounders with Matt Damon Um. Now,
there's a lot of gambling movies that are in the
fringes that are about gambling, but not specifically about gambling,
like Oceans eleven. It's like a bank heist movie, but
it's about I liked Oceans eleven. I thought that was
pretty cool. Does the hangover count because gambling? No, it's
(28:44):
a that doesn't coup with their in Vegas. Though that
doesn't count their in Vegas. There the bachelor party, the
whole thing, you know, No anything else there's that Oceans
what about? Yeah? I think Oceans is a good movie.
To twenty one is based off that that book that
(29:05):
was written bringing down the House, when those m I
T kids went to Vegas and they started counting cards
and going like almost every other week to Sin City
and basically fucking crushing Vegas. Yeah, yeah, that's good. That
is good. I should watch that what's the name that
I had to watch it? And I've watched it? Watched that?
Is that on Netflix or something? Probably? Yeah, that's a
(29:29):
good movie to watch this weekend. Save my although I
just got my wife on Amazon Prime Days. She bought
a subscription to PBS. Yeah, that's like the gold mine
for documentary. I'm finally watching the country music documentary that
I wanted to watch a couple of years ago or
last year, I guess it came out that's really good.
(29:49):
You gotta be careful though, because PBS they take some
of their content off, like after a short period of time,
so even the ones that you pay for with the
subscription they'll remove. Well, so far, so good. I've been
watching it. I mean it's it's like sixteen hours and
so it's gonna take me probably the rest of the
year to get through it. But it's good because I
(30:09):
you know, I'm I don't mind. You know, I'm not
a huge country music fan. I don't like the new
I like the older country music. But uh, it's it's
great because the early days of country music, you know,
Hillbillies and the odeling and all that, but radio radio
it's tied into the radio business, and these country music
stars were hired by radio stations and they would perform
(30:32):
at night, you know, like once a week on Saturday night,
they'd have a performance in and uh, it was very
interesting learning about the early days of both radio and
how country music were tied together, intertwined, and they created
these big stars. And it was so funny because they
they did a thing on Gene Autry and I when
(30:52):
I was younger, Gene Autrey owned the Angels, and I
was when I was an autograph hound. I used to
get Autrey's autograph, but I had no I really have
the context of how famous Gean Autrey had been at
one point in America, the singing cowboy, and how big
a deal he was at one point. You know, he
Roy Rogers and Autrey and those those country guys in
(31:14):
the beginning. I didn't realize it when I was you know,
when and when he was alive. He died in the nineties,
but pretty pretty crazy. Yeah, let's see here, Chris in
the Cocota Iowa writes and Chris sent us something we
talked about on the Benny Versus the Penny. We won't
get to that here. Chris says a lot of conspiracy
(31:37):
talk on the show lately. So what's your take on
JFK Grassy Knoll shooter conspiracy? And if you have time,
that nine eleven was done by our own government. Yeah,
I'm not not buying the nine eleven government. Uh sorry,
(31:58):
Although was it Building seven? That's a little fishy to me. Well,
and then it was a building seven? Is that the
one where he was down the street from the World
Trade Center and that collapsed hours later? Is that what
it was? I think it was called Building seven if
I remember correctly. That one's a little fishy to me.
I don't know what happened with that. But the the
(32:18):
JFK thing when I when I first got into radio business,
and that would be the topic of conversation still around
the dinner table. Was you know JFK you know? And
what happened? You know? I I don't know. I've heard
different theories on that. I have a feeling that it's
a little more complicated than the story that we've been fed.
But you know, if I've heard that the two shooter thing,
(32:40):
there's more people that were involved. It was a c
I a hit job. I don't. I don't know about
all that, but yeah, something more that's not I don't
think we're getting the holes and we're getting a version
of the truth, but not the whole truth. I hear
that stuff on the Pentagon too, on nine eleven. Oh
what about this video of the plane hitting the Pentagon?
How they're not I mean, did they did they docked
(33:02):
the video? I don't know. Travis in Roseberg, Oregon, right
since says Ben Uh, we're about the same age. Sometimes
I hear a bit of Tom likeas in your delivery?
Was he one of your influences. I did listen to Like.
I thought like this was a very good talk show host.
I did listen to him, um from time to time.
I was not like an everyday listener, but I would
(33:23):
listen to him if I was in the car and
he was on. And he says, you should revive Flash Friday.
He says, the malle malicious the perfect demographic for that problems.
We're on at night and most of the people that
listen are either at work. Well, we have truck drivers,
but just you know, I don't think it really work
of truck drivers flash each other on Flash Friday. I
don't think that would. But but Lias was great. And
(33:44):
I have buddy of mine that was an engineer for
Likeas and told me that like has hated sports radio
because he lost a job because the station he worked
at changed formats to sports and they whacked him. And
from that point forward, that's what I was told. I
don't know if that's true or not, but the guy
told me that's why. One of the reasons like his
hated sports radio because he lost a gig to it.
(34:04):
But yeah, he was he was pretty good. I mean compelling, entertaining,
all the things the ingredients are supposed to be as
a talk show. So sure, but I I don't know
influence yet. Jim Healy, I think you know hack saw
Jim Healy a little bit alike? Is uh Paul Harvey,
Good Day? Some of the people in radio that Art Bell,
some of the people that influenced me, Howard Stern, people
(34:26):
like that. Did you ever listen to like this? I
only listened to a handful of times. I was mustly
like listen to roam me when I was when I
was growing up, explains a lot. Kevin from Rockford, Illinois,
says Mr Miller. Other, First of all, think you're calling
Mr Miller Kevin very classy, very old, he says. Other
(34:47):
than you, are there really good people west of the
four or five? He says. I was in California on
vacation last year. I drove from San Francisco to Palm Springs.
Everyone I met on our road trip was a this
suck up, David gascon wannabe. No matter west or east
of the four oh five, you're still in California. As
pretty as the state is. The people suck. That's what
(35:10):
happens in Kevin San Francisco, and he probably never Well,
if you're going from Palm Springs or excuse me, San
francs Francisco to Palm Springs, you never came close to
the four oh five Freeway, like, not once, So they
don't try to front and be fucking friends with that. Yeah,
all right, that is true. The four oh five Freeway, Kevin,
(35:30):
only goes from the San Fernando Valley and it ends
in just past Irvine in you know, it's past Irvine
at the merge with the five and the four oh five.
It merges back with the five Freeway. And I used
to live right near the southern part of the four
oh five, but I lived on the I grew up,
(35:50):
thank god, I grew up near the five Freeway in Irvine.
Where it goes there's a four or five part where
the gascon a holes live, and then on the other
part is the the five where the commoners commoners live.
But yeah, the four or five in that part is
it's not a very long stretch, but all the a
holes live west of the four or five in California.
(36:14):
But yeah, there's a lot of dicks, and Kelly, I
agree with you, Kevin. Yeah, I agree with you. It's
not a lot of a holes. It's it's because you
go someone. You go to other parts of the country,
people are like, nice, how you doing, what's going on?
They smile in a little thing here, It's become a
lot like New York, you know, the cliche of New
York where everyone's you know, I'm worried about themselves and
their a holes. And yeah, it's tough. Even even like
(36:36):
even hot women get like they just fucking scalle at you.
If you hot, women always scal at you. No, that's
not true. That's that's that was true when you're fat
and I was fat, they scal at you. Well, because
you're sweating, so you're below me. Don't look at me.
You're not even word of me about Look. Get out
of here, you peasant, you fat peasant women. That's Heath love,
(37:00):
fat man. I should have been in the South. Were
we talking about? You're married, I've said when I was younger, though,
I could have taken a radio job in Atlanta or
something that would been great. Yeah, all right. Charlie in Memphis, Tennessee,
says a member of in CEO of the Gascon Group Ltd.
(37:25):
When will you apologize to David for ruining an expensive steak.
I have not ruined an expensive stake. If you have,
you've you've ruined it. Is this one of your burner accounts?
Charlie and Memphis Gascons? Are you pretending to be him? No,
that'd be a great day to go visit though, Memphis, Tennessee. Hello,
Memphis Barbecue. Go to Beal Street. Hang on, Memphis. Have
you heard about their barbecue compared to Texas and Kansas City? Well,
(37:51):
everyone's got their favorite. I'm I'm a fan of Kansas
City Barbecue. That's my favorite. And I love the z
Man sandwich at Casey Joe's formerly Oklahoma Joe's. It's the
greatest sandwich I've ever had. But I've not like I've
not had a lot of I've heard bad things about
Carolina barbecue. Have you ever had Carolina? But I've heard
(38:11):
it's not good. I've heard it's not good. I've heard
it's the worst of the big barbecue. Um. But I'd
love to go on a barbecue tour. It would be
a lot of fun. I had the time to go
around to Texas and Memphis and Kansas City, and there's
Tennessee barbecue. No, it would be fun, especially because you
can go ribs, briskets like anything. Obviously, you don't have
(38:33):
to go with one one chicken. Oh yeah, chicken barbet chicken.
Yeah exactly. Let's see Dave in Mesa, Arizona. I got
family in that area, he says, I do like your show.
Let's just southeast or yeah, just southeast of Scottsdale. They're
gonna go to Arizona hang out with thief. I don't
(38:55):
think anyone wants to hang out with me now because
of the Corona, but I need to see them. Uh
Day in Mace, Arizona says I do like your show,
listening for years and years. Thank you, Dave. I think
you should forgive the Houston Astros or face the fact
that the Rams cheated by a horrible no call to
get into the big game. Uh and and worst yet
(39:17):
to nine New Orleans their rifle spot. So homer of
you to do not to admit it again, Dave, you're
just You're just a troll. I'm glad that you like
the show, but you're a troll. You clearly have forgotten
that bad calls happen in games. They go against you.
Sometimes they go for you. Sometimes those things even out,
(39:38):
and they did even out for the New Orleans Saints.
They had the ball first in overtime. They had the
Hall of Fame quarterback. All you have to do is
go down, drive the ball down, get a touchdown. You
win the game. Drive do down, game the ball down,
get a field goal, get a stop, you win the game.
Remember what happened. I remember what happened in overtime. Saints
got possession of the ball first. They drove down and
(39:59):
around midfiel Yield, Drew Brees through an interception, Rams picked
it off. They don't even think they got a first
down and they kicked Greg's our line kicked along field goal, Game,
set and match. That's on Drew Brees. That's on the Saints.
Instead they're blaming the referees. It's embarrassing and how pathetic
(40:19):
you think about. Drew Brees is a Hall of Famer
and all time great. He has lost home playoff games
to Kirk Cousins and Jared Golf. Think about that for
a second. Let that marinate in your head. Carlos in Houston,
right Sin, since I heard the podcast when you cursed
on the air, and now when the Dodgers choke again.
(40:41):
Will you be cursing again? That was awesome? Well Carlos,
bang bang, How about your a holes? How about their
a holes there? Carlos, How are they doing? How are
they doing in the world serious guest, and how are
the Astros doing? You have an update? Two B D
T B D. Yeah, that's good. All right, we'll do
a couple more here. Thinkfull They did not get in
Fun nine and thirty one, all of a sudden they
(41:01):
get their landing in the World Series. It's a joke.
It's pathetic, and I hope someday to tell the story
I have to tell about the Astros. I believe these
statue of limitations is not run out yet, guests, guy,
But at some point I will be able to tell
the story. Yeah, how long are you gonna give that
thing to breathe? Oh? I have to give it a while.
(41:22):
I have to give it a while. I might need
a new person in power before I'm able to do it.
Not at our place, but they're they're anyway, uh Russ
in Evansville, Indiana, right, Since it is more delusional fan
base on being relevant in college sports, Tennessee or Nebraska
in football or Indiana in basketball. All right, So this
(41:45):
one to me is easy and just based on my
interactions with callers on the radio show. Now that we
talk much college athletic competition, we don't. We're mostly a
pro sports show. We don't do a lot of college. Um,
if there's a big college football championship game, we'll talk
about that. It's a big scandal involving Nick Saban, we'll
talk about that, But January we avoid that. So anyway, Uh,
(42:07):
the answers Tennessee, the Tennessee volunteer fan, God love him.
They are convinced they are on the come every year
that this is gonna be their year and whoever they
hire their new coach is going to be great. They
have not been relevant since what the late nineties? Yeah,
T Martin and company purely Spryce was there as well.
(42:27):
How great is it that Peyton Manning was there and
the greatest thing in the world and they didn't win
ship with Peyton Manning and T Martin comes in their
system quarterback, they win the national championship. That's great. That's
the equivalent of the Washington Nationals having Bryce Harper, getting
rid of Bryce Harper and free agency and then winning
the World Series the very next year. It's the same concept.
(42:50):
It's the same thing, is what it is? That? Yes
you did, that's right now. But tennise events, remember we
used to have was the guy's name from Nashville, Danny
from funny thing it was. And oh my god, he
was so every coach and you know, and I say
every coach. They went through a lot of coaches in
a short amount of time. But he would buy every rumor. Oh,
(43:12):
John Gruden was sputtered at a barbecue restaurant in Knoxville.
He's gonna be the coach of Tennessee, you know. And
I was like, okay, total bullshit story, but yeah, he
he went with it. But like, and I remember, they
hired Jeremy Pruitt, the guy that's currently coaching and he's
still a coach right at Tennessee, Jeremy Pruett, And they're,
oh my god, this guy is great. He's on the
Nick Saban coaching tree. Oh what a great higher one
(43:35):
and a minute, this guy is gonna turn this program around.
You just wait and see. And they always put the
caveat on there. Give it a couple of years, give
it a couple of years and they're they're gonna be great.
Oh my god, you know that, that whole thing, and
then you're like, okay, let's see. You know Jeremy Putty
uh pru it rather, he's been there. This is his
third year as the volunteer coach, so that means you've
(43:58):
had multiple recruiting lasses, You've got your players. And Tennessee
has played twenty nine games with Jeremy Prude as a coach.
They are fifteen and fourteen and fourteen, and they were
ranked in the preseason top twenty five. This year they
got as high as fourteen. There two and two the volunteers.
(44:19):
But that fan base, that is that takes the cake
for me. Russ. I know you might want me to
say Indiana basketball because you're from Evansville, Indiana, but I'm
going with Tennessee Tennessee football by a country mile. Alright,
last question, gesc are you ready for the last question?
All right? That says Ben do you listen to the
college marching bands in your spare time? He was aword.
(44:41):
This is Chris and Edmonton, Alberta. Uh and if you
like the bands at least, what are some of your
favorite melodies? Holmet Oilers by the way. That's right. Good
good knowledge there. Uh you know, I I you know
what I like is the drum major. That is great.
And I'm not a big band. Yeah, I like music,
(45:02):
but I'm not really a music person, which means I
don't really know what I'm listening to. I just like,
I like what I like, and I like what I
like and that's it. Um. But college bands are just
like the Ohio State band dotting the ie. The USC
marching band actually pretty pretty impressive. I used to go
to the USC games back in the day for Troy.
(45:23):
The USC marching band will go to like parties or weddings, like,
they go everywhere. It's not just obviously on campus for
USC football. It's pretty impressive when you see the band
marching around, you know, when you're outside the stadium and
the band's marching through, it's pretty cool. Yeah, it's pretty neat.
But do I have a favorite melody? And uh, I don't.
I don't. I don't have one, Chris, I'm sorry, but
(45:46):
I'm impressed that the formations they make. That's that's there's
a lot of choreography that goes in that when they
spell out it seems easy, but to actually get three
or two hundred people in the band to be in
the right spot. It's not that easy. And play the
right note too. Yeah, exactly. We can't even walk and
chew gum at the same time, right, I mean, come on, please,
can I do it? Can I do it? No? No? No,
(46:09):
I'm not going to do it? All right? So that
that will put the baby to bed? Yes, guest Con,
anything else you want to do? Hear versus the penny.
If you have not watched it, watch it. That is right,
thanks to our guy. If you did not hear Friday's podcast,
if you didn't stumble on Seth Dylan very good CEO
Babylon B Guestcon's wet dream come true. It was orgasmic
(46:30):
for Guestcon. And then we thank him for his time.
He was very nice, Seth. And then also on the
Saturday podcast, we think the Arizona Republic for doing a

know it's a pain in the ask to do it.
(01:03):
Nobody does it. I don't do it, but if you
it's a it's a way to help out the podcast
and do it. It's free. It's free to do it.
So you can help us out by reviewing the podcast
and also just telling telling people I've told the story before.
I had a guy who I don't even know, he
is a fan of the show in Colorado who recommended
our podcast to a woman who I had dated years ago,
(01:26):
who moved to Colorado, and she contacted me out of
the blue. That's what I'm looking now. Obviously, it made
me feel good about myself, but more importantly, it's word
of mouth advertising, and that's the most effective advertising. So
please keep that up. And we are joined, unfortunately from
west of the four oh five, from David Gascon who
he's making his way in here, the man that put
(01:51):
narcissism on the map. It's gonna be here. It's gonna
be the last of the four oh five. I wake
up every day a loud and proud and grateful for
that opportunity, just to strep my ship West little four
oh five while you sulk and bitch and moaning over
that burned tomahawk East of the four oh five, there's
no burn tomahawk. The tomahawk is it perfectly fine. It's
(02:14):
in a climate controlled environment. I'll make a deal with you,
how about this. If the Dodgers win the World Series,
I'm gonna cook the tomahawk. How about that? Okay, you're
gonna cook the tomahawk anyway, So no, no, no, no.
If they don't win the World's I'm gonna wait till
one of my teams wins a championship, and then I'm
gonna have a celebratory Tomahawk's day. Let's I'm gonna make
a bet with you. Are a deal with you. I
(02:35):
am never fucking getting you a birthday gift ever again.
No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no
no no ship well again yes gon alright, hey, douce, nozzle, listen,
let me explain something. Okay, I was planning on making
the steak, but you badgered me so much that as
an act of punishment for your mouth feasance. That's the
second podcast in ROW I've used the word mouthfeasance. It's
(02:56):
a big word. I'm very proud of myself. I went
to Saddleback College. But but no so because every time
you complain about it, and these these nim rods, you're
a little sick of fans. Uh. There are not many
of them from West to the four h five. But
I'm like, okay, there's another two weeks I'm not gonna
eat them. I'm not gonna eat the tomahawk because this
guy sent me a message about the time Hawks, so
I'm not gonna eat it. You're just passing out audio
(03:17):
demerits to people. Yes, tough love guests, and I believe
in tough love. It's the Mallard way of doing it.
That's why I'm critical here. I believe in hard work
and tough love. That's how I do it. Damn right
to see if the Dodgers pull this thing off. Constructive
criticism is how I do things here. They don't trigger
a lot of people. Hopefully just listen to the dot.
(03:39):
If the Dodgers somehow f this up, okay, if they
slide on the banana peal, Roberts is gone. Uh cursed.
They gotta get rid of Crusha anyway. I would not
keep him or i'd trade him, but wholesale change. Justin
Turner is not gonna be back. He will definitely not
be back if they lose the World Series. Keep Hernandez
(04:00):
bye bye, bye bye, see you later. Go down the list. Listen.
If the Dodgers blow this, I wouldn't mind you putting
that tomahawk into your laundry cart and then pushing the
laundry cart onto the four oh five onto income They're
gonna win. I got you gotta believe, Actually, don't have
to believe, but I I am still relatively confident. Not
(04:24):
knowing what has happened in recent days is where you
know this podcast was was recorded at another time. But um,
I'm I'm still optimistic. You're still optimistic. So we have

Mallor Show Fox Sports Radio weekdays two a m. The six,
(05:30):

interesting survey studies, and findings. Sundays mostly listeners submitted questions
via the Facebook fan page or email. I highly recommend
(05:52):
all these podcasts and thoroughly enjoy listening to Ben power
his way through the podcast, despite of blatant attempts by
his coast to sabotage almost every episode. And it was tannled.
It was titled markis Maller? What kind of piece of shot?

I got it up? That's from Mario. That's the great Mario. Mario.

(06:34):
something like that? Can we get this is the ultimate
test here, guesscan can we get to three by the
next podcast. No chance, can we get to to seventy
by the next podcast. That's that's a chance. Yeah, that's doable.
All right. What are the odds that we will get
(06:58):
another eleven people to take time out of their lives
and spend about a minute reviewing our podcast on the
Apple podcast page. Well that's high because there are repeat
commenters on this and you even had that little guy
(07:18):
from Arizona spells everything wrong. He comments on Hairy multiple
times too, So you're such a dick. You're such a dick. Yeah,
I like the guy. I think this is probably one
of the Cincinnati bros. Might have been Justin or just
Josh who uh just see the name they use their
on the review of the the Sunday podcast. Did you
(07:40):
see that? No? I did not see that. Yeah I didn't. Yeah, yeah,
I don't think we're allowed to say that. But that's
an inside joke here at the one of the people
I work with, someone I work with that might use
an alias, or someone I used to work with or
maybe still work with. I don't know. Yeah, that's a yeah,
(08:01):
it's a reference. Are you ready for the questions? Are
you ready to slice through this? I was just asking
if your wife had written that, but now you my
my wife does not right reviews, which is weird because
she does value reviews. Like when we go back in
the older days we were allowed before the monarchy, Yeah, like,
(08:22):
oh this is great, we should try this place, you know.
And I'm like, because I know a lot of that
stuff on. It's like they're algorithms and you can pay
people to for reviews and all that. But we unfortunately,
we don't have to worry about that because the the
monarchy here in California, his majesty has not allowed us
(08:45):
to go eat at restaurants in most of the big cities,
although in Orange County it's amazing. I can go to
Orange County and you know, we live in l A.
But you go down and see my dad and go
I have a nice meal at a restaurant inside. It's amazing.
God forbid, it's not safe here where I live. All right,
Chef Scott from New Orleans, we should go hang out.
(09:06):
I don't know what restaurant Chef Scott works out. We
should go hang out with. I've heard amazing. I haven't
spent any time in nuorleances. I've heard good things. I
don't know that i'd like the food there because it's
a lot of seafood. But I did like the the
kingcake that Barbara in New Orleans sent and some of
that food looks really good. That that's gonna be picky
on it. But Chef Scott from New Orleans rights, since
I listened to a lot of Art Bell through the
(09:29):
nineties and the two thousands, even though I was never
a big believer in most of that stuff, if the
corporate mucketymucks bend commanded you to do one four hour
weekday show in the style of Art Bell, what would
be your topic, possible guests and why are you so
interested in it? And did your mom like to listen? Also,
(09:52):
And Chef Scott says, those ghosts, the ghost Halloween specials
were awesome. Yeah, Art Bell is amazing. I got to
meet Art one time. He was I don't know, if
you know, it's a bit of an introvert and I
didn't get out much in a hermit and all that stuff.
He lived in Perrump, Nevada um. And so they brought
Art in at one of the early days of Fox
(10:13):
Sports Trader, which is part of the Premier Networks, and
they had a big He used to have these big
Christmas parties in Beverly Hills. It was awesome and they'd
fly in all the big talent around the country would
come in and hang out. And um, I got to
meet uh, Matt Drudge was there. Doctor This is back
in the Doctor Laura days, um Limb Ball like all
(10:35):
the big shots, and it was it was great. You know,
they have the they'd have the main table. But Art
was part of that anyway, and so I got to
meet him one time. But if I were doing Art
Bell show as a homage to Art, uh, my mom
did listen to him. That's one of the reasons I
started listening to him. I come from a family of
night owls and uh, and so that was part of it.
But I used to love when Art would do the
(10:55):
stuff about Area fifty one and and I always got
a kick out of that. And and also he would
do a lot of shows about like cattle being mutilated
by they thought aliens, you know, those kind of things. Uh.
And then all the Kim trails would be good. Um.
(11:16):
But the thing about Art is he would he would
never say, hey, that's bullshit. He would listen to anybody,
you know, and because it made good radio. It made
good radio and listen to anybody. So yeah, I was
a big fan art. But it'd be fun. You know,
one of the guys, Steve Mason, who used to work
with it Fox, is a big afternoon guy at a
(11:36):
different station in l A now. But Steve Mason got
to fill in on Coast to Coast a few times,
and and that's that's pretty cool, know you know how
it crushed with that would be your boy Leaklin. He
would absolutely demolish that. The Prince of darkness. Yeah, I
think if you've really done that for But he would
just focus on government conspiracy. Yes, that's great. He would
focus on government conspiracies. Uh yeah uh. And then the
(12:01):
chef Scott says, dude, eat the frozen tomahawks soon. I'm
actually starting to have a smidge of sympathy for gag On.
I used to charge a hundred and seventy five dollars
for a forty two hounds tomahawk. He says it's a restaurant,
very popular. I guess he works at the Casino Steakhouse.
That sounds pretty good. Is that on? Is that on
(12:23):
the water though? What's that? Well? The Casino I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know. He didn't say exactly
where he works, but that's what he implied. And he
said he he dropped the name here, which is kind
of west of the four oh five ish. He said
that he prepared. I think he said here, if I'm
reading this right, the Tomahawks steak for Adrian Peterson while
he was suspended from from the NFL, he came into
(12:46):
his restaurant in New Orleans with a group and they
made the Tomahawks steaks. Did he did he hit it
with a switch. Yeah, that's how they tenderized it. Yes,
they tenderized it with Adrian from DTC. Where is dt CD?
You know what that know? What is is that downtown Denver? No, No,
that's not downtown Denver, Okay, he says. Anyway, wherever that is,
(13:06):
we don't know. I think he's in Denver, he says,
or near Denver. I've been trying out inter minute fasting
for a week or so and need your expert advice. Well,
you've come to the right place, Adrian. I'm curious to know.
The email continues, what you are eating when you are
breaking the fast. I'm struggling with sweets and junk food.
How strict are you with sweets and junk food when
(13:28):
you are not fasting? Not not strict at all. No,
I'm not and uh and and you don't need to be.
That's the cool thing. Now. Obviously there's dietary reasons you
need to keep track of some of that stuff. But
I fast so much I've worked up my resistance to
fasting that it's to me, it's more about the time
of it, where I'll go sixty five hours without eating,
(13:50):
which you should not do. You should never take advice
on fasting from a podcaster or overnight radio guy. But
I've worked myself up to the point. So but then
when I end the fast, um, I'll eat pretty much
whatever I want, but I'll only do it within one hour.
And you can't really eat that much in one hour
because you're your appetite while you think you're really hung
(14:10):
but you fill up pretty quick. I've noticed that. And
then I've also noticed because of the gall bladder, after
I fast for a long time, whatever I eat immediately
comes out the other end pretty quick, So it works
that way as well. Um, But I would recommend for
somebody starting fasting thirteen hours is a good way to
(14:33):
start and then work your way up to sixteen hours.
And I used sixteen hours as my baseline, but I
usually end up fasting Adrian. I try to get even
on the days I don't do along fast. I try
to get like twenty two to twenty three hours of
fasting in and then I'll eat for an hour and
then I'll start the clock again. But I've got some neurosis.
(14:57):
I I I have a lot of neurosis when it
comes to being a fat guy. My entire life and
all that stuff. It's it's messed me up a little bit.
So how about you like kind of ease your way
into eating by having fruit, Like that's the easiest way
to do it, like watermelon, watermelon, strawberries, apples, grapes, like something.
(15:18):
You know. The weird thing that I've noticed about with
the with the combination of the gall bladder and the fasting,
this is phenomenon that's happened the last month or so.
So I try to do one sixty plus hour fast
a week. My it's my Michigan, right, um, and so
you shouldn't do that, but I do it once a week.
I I go sixty I usually from Saturday night to
like Tuesday, I won't eat normally. And Gascott knows that
(15:40):
because he'll send me food porn pictures Dick that he
is anyway. Um, but I have noticed now, like when
i get to about the sixty hour mark and I'm
winding down my fast, but I've still got a few
hours left, and I'll go from my walk, my my
hiking around urban hiking. If I drink water, even water
will trigger a reaction like a lot of water will
(16:01):
trigger me having to run, make a run, I'll have
the Tennessee trots and have to go on and go
to the bathroom right away. It's weird. What if you
increase the temple on how you walk is the same thing. Yeah,
it don't really even have to walk. I think it's
just when you drink a lot of water after you've
been fasting for that for whatever forever reason for when
you fast for that long, it happens that way. Anyway.
(16:24):
I hope that answers your question, Uh, to start thirteen
hours and the key when you're forming a habit. And
I've said this many times, but it bears repeating here,
and you talk about habits and how long it takes
to have a habit, and there've been studies on this.
It to get something part of your routine. To create
a habit, you have to do something for I think
(16:49):
the numbers that like sixty six days or something like that,
and then it becomes ingrained and it's it's like automatic, right,
I mean, it's almost automatic at that point. But there's
there's a magic number to form a habit, and uh,
I'm not sure exactly. I don't remember exactly the time.
(17:09):
I think it was like sixty six days or something
like that. There's a there's a good cheat code for
him though. If you can not eat four hours before
you sleep and then max out on sleep before you
have to wake up. Like let's say you get eight
hours of sleep and you fast four hours before you
go to bed, that's twelve right there. So then yeah, exactly,
(17:30):
I mean, yeah, that's four hours you got. Now it
becomes a little more problem problematic for people like myself
who sleep about four hours a night. Um, that's a
little difficulty. So I can't really I can't do that,
guess you know. What I'm saying doesn't doesn't quite work
for me, so unfortunately, But yeah, forming habits that's the
key in anything like what people make bad habits. But
(17:53):
if you can make good habits, or at least things
we think are good habits, then that's the that's the
way go, right, What is a good habit? By the way,
do you I don't even know what a good habit?
I mean, everything's in moderation, I guess. And then they said,
but sixty six days is the number. I looked it
up here. And you had a good habit of leaving
the studio and walking around the block. I did. I did. Yeah,
(18:15):
I would time out how long the commercials were and
I would walk around the building. And I did that
for many years. And I was friends with all the
homeless people in Sherman Oaks around the I heart Media
building there, the Premier Networks building. I knew Limben. Yeah,
it's where Sherman Oaks. There's so much money in that
part of l A. But if the people only knew
(18:36):
what it was like in the middle of the night,
the the type you know that, I mean everyone, I
feel bad for people that are down their luck, but
people coming out of the woodwork and it's like a
very expensive neighborhood in l A. A lot of the
rich people you know, live up in the hills right
above there and come down shopping those stores and then
go to the restaurants and it's like man. Uh Adrian
(18:58):
also says, I want to comment on Dave Logan yet again?
Have you reached out to Dave Logan guestcott Everyone wants
Dave Logan on the podcast. I have not, he says,
If I'm not mistaken, I believe Dave Logan is the
last collegiate athlete to participate in at least three sports
year round while attending college. Well, there's a question right there.
(19:18):
We could ask Daved Logan off's true or not? Try
to get him on and see we can get him
on next week. Reach out to him, all right, Will
in Illinois rights and says, it's your biggest fan. That's right,
this is the fattest fan of the show, the great
Will And he says, checking in on the Bob page
update and he sent me an email here. Will says,
(19:39):
I reached out to Bob on Twitter and he seems
to have changed his opinion of you. In fact, he
would love to be a guest on the podcast. Uh
see attached for the exchange and I am looking at
the on the screenshots here, and Bob was very nice.
I wonder what happened. Bob was a dick before, but
(19:59):
now he's being He says, I used to work with
Ben nice man. Why would he want me on his podcast?
And then then then he said he would happily go
on the pod because that's nice. Yeah, I have nothing
against Bob. I love Bob's got some great stories. Bob,
as we've have said before, he replaced Howard Cosell on
Howard Cosell's radio show speaking of sport, and he threw
(20:21):
some haymakers on television in New York. He was on
MSG taking shots at the Knicks and and they actually
had good teams when he was at MSG. They weren't
terrible like they've been ever since. But yeah, I don't
know that we want to have Bob on the podcast,
but it's nice that he's nice, and i've you know,
now that he's made up with me, I'm good. Uh.
(20:43):
David mill Valley, California says Ben, Uh, where was your
wife a chubby chaser? Didn't did you meet after you
lost the tonnage? Um? I was losing the weight still,
I was not um the big fatty that I had been,
(21:03):
but I wasn't completely the rail that I briefly became.
So I was I was in the middle. I was
in the middle. But I don't think she's a chubby
chase Kevin in You'd have to ask her that. Kevin
and Rumford Maine writes, In says, would you rather be
facing the cheating as strows and wipe them out? Or
who cares? Just Winnie? I don't really care, Kevin, I
(21:25):
don't care. No one's gonna remember who they beat in
the World Series. Just canna remember they won the World Series.
That's it. You were your years from now, you're now
they remember they won the World Series in two thousand.
It's like who they played is really irrelevant. It doesn't matter.
Jay Dot in Utah says, do you ever wonder what
your callers ever look like? I'd imagine because of social media,
(21:46):
it's a whole lot easier to find out somewhat, Jay Dot,
although a lot of people hide with as sports Talk
Barrier would say, fake afy's the avatars they use the
different things. So I've been pretty lucky in that or
unlucky that I've the people. I'm curious what they look like.
(22:06):
The most I was able to see the one I didn't.
There's a couple that I have, and obviously I have
no idea what the late great Jimmy Ray from Tampa
Bay look like. Troy the gambling Man in Nashville Boardwalk,
Bob Um his his famous Shenanigans calling the show in
the early days, MotorCity Mike. But like like Pete and Pittsburgh,
(22:28):
I met him. There's a photo of me with Pete
and the bread Man at Permoni Brothers in Pittsburgh. But
then when we took the photo, Pete put a paper
bag on his head. But I saw him before that. Uh,
and then you you go down the list man you
had the I don't know what real talk looks like.
That's one I'm wondering. I'm curious, like what real tyche
people have had different theories on real Talk, What exactly
(22:50):
who looks like? If this is all an act, if
he's actually like a totally different than his portrayal, he's
playing a character. I don't know, But I knew what
Genie look like. I saw photos of Genie. I've seen
photos of most of the regular people. You know that
marked the full name guy because he puts his photo
up from like the nineteen seventies. I've seen that Lance
(23:13):
the bus driver. I'm trying to think. Yeah, So to
answer your question, Ja Dot, I've seen most of the
people that I was most curious about. Kyle from San
Antonio says, is this the year that Clayton Kershaw finally
overcomes his need for the Heimlich maneuver in the playoffs?
He did look great in Game one, But yeah, Kyle,
(23:35):
I'm not there yet. And there's two ways to look
at this. This is setting up for a Disney Ask
Clayton Kershaw World Series where the Dodgers come back and
he pitches Game five, they win the whole thing. It's
also setting up for Clayton Kershaw goes out and pukes
all over the mountain Game five and f's the thing up,
So we'll find him. Pierre, better known by his gangster
(23:58):
name Alf the Alien Opiner from spring Field. Right now, Pierre,
which Springfield are you in? There's like seven thousand different
Springfields anyway, Pierre says, Ben, have you given any thought
to regifting that Tomahawks steak to that vagrant in Miami?
I'm sure Gagon would be more than happy to know
that you were helping out the downtrodden. Would you be
(24:20):
okay with that? Guestcown if I overnight did the Tomahawks
steak to tweed Man, Hippy in Miami could be cool
with that? You could to Marlin's man, that's fine. Oh,
because he's got money. Well, I see what did? Do
you know what I should tell us? Because this is
for the p once. The Sunday podcast is for like
the top one percent of the p ones, it really is.
So weed Man called the show begging for money yet
(24:42):
again this week. Right, He was like, oh, I need help.
I have no food, you know, the whole thing. So
I felt bad. He's begging me send me money. I'm
not gonna send you money. So I gave him a
buzz after the call on the air, like I called
him up off the hear and I was like, hey, hey,
weed Me, let me help you out sending me money.
(25:06):
You know, he starts screaming at me. I said, what
about what about Lisa? She would send him money? No,
Lisa's not workers, she's a trainer, and there's no there's
no gyms are open, so there's no money for from Lisa.
So I'm like Okay, let me. I'm gonna do you solid. Okay,
give me your zip coe. So weed Man gives me
a zip coe, and then he starts complaining about the
(25:26):
neighborhood he lives in, which is like the you know,
the worst part of Miami, and there's people getting shot
all the time. And he's like complaining, old thing. So
my all right, let me type the zip code. And
so I typed the zip code in and then I
find all these like food pantries, food pantries you know,
for people are down to the lock to people that
(25:46):
are you know, homeless or whatever. So I'm like, oh,
I listen, there are literally like eighty of these places
around that part of Miami. So I'm reading off the addresses.
That's too far. I can't make it there. Oh. I
tried the Salvation Army. You gotta be in some program.
I don't want to be in a program. They're not
I know, you know, every single one. I didn't read
(26:09):
all eight of them because I hung up on him,
but he kept saying, no, too far, not gonna make it. No,
I don't want to go there. Tried them. You. I'm like,
oh my god, here I am thinking. I'm gonna help
the guy out and he's a total dick and just
slaps me around. Say, there you go. No good deed
goes unpunished. No good deed goes unpunished. Jason and Rocky
(26:32):
mount for Jens says, Hey, guys, I know you both
like documentaries. I assume you like based on true story
movies too. Have you watched The Founder on Netflix? If so,
what did you think. Yes, In fact, I actually saw
The Founder. I'm one of the few people that saw
it in the movie theater. Have you seen The Founder?
It's the one that Tom Hanks plays the McDonald's, the
(26:53):
croc guy Ray Croc. No, I have not. It is
a good um. Yeah, I thought it was pretty good.
The story of mcdo donald's, uh, And I like that
those kind of movies. I did enjoy it. The McDonald's
brothers and how they sold out and they they sold
themselves short and you know McDonald's becoming this major conglomerate
(27:13):
and some of the things that they came up with
that are still used today in the food industry. Yeah,
it's pretty it's pretty good. Yeah. I saw parts of
it when Michael Keaton, I think, was talking about that.
Was it Michael Keaton. What did I say? Did I
say Tom Hanks? You did? I don't know that's that's
a bad job by me. But I think Tom Hanks
and Michael Keaton are the same, aren't they? No, one
of them is Bruce, Wayne and Batman. The other one's not.
(27:35):
Both white guys. They know what the same? Jesus what nothing? Nothing? Okay?
Triggering you triggered? You need a safe space. You need
ill blast of milk and a blankie. I need to
go up to cal Berkeley and hang out. Valls fan
(27:58):
Jimmy Wrightson, he said, is some Fayetteville, Tennessee sus Ben.
Have you ever put up a fair poll on the
Overnight Show? Yes, yes, everyone I do. Is a fair
and balanced poll. I don't know what you're talking about.
Richard in Flooresville, Texas, says Benning Gascon. Favorite gaming movie
of all time mine is Let It or Ride with
Richard Drivers. I think my favorite gambling movie it's gotta
(28:22):
be Rounders. I love Rounders, Rounders with Matt Damon Um. Now,
there's a lot of gambling movies that are in the
fringes that are about gambling, but not specifically about gambling,
like Oceans eleven. It's like a bank heist movie, but
it's about I liked Oceans eleven. I thought that was
pretty cool. Does the hangover count because gambling? No, it's
(28:44):
a that doesn't coup with their in Vegas. Though that
doesn't count their in Vegas. There the bachelor party, the
whole thing, you know, No anything else there's that Oceans
what about? Yeah? I think Oceans is a good movie.
To twenty one is based off that that book that
(29:05):
was written bringing down the House, when those m I
T kids went to Vegas and they started counting cards
and going like almost every other week to Sin City
and basically fucking crushing Vegas. Yeah, yeah, that's good. That
is good. I should watch that what's the name that
I had to watch it? And I've watched it? Watched that?
Is that on Netflix or something? Probably? Yeah, that's a
(29:29):
good movie to watch this weekend. Save my although I
just got my wife on Amazon Prime Days. She bought
a subscription to PBS. Yeah, that's like the gold mine
for documentary. I'm finally watching the country music documentary that
I wanted to watch a couple of years ago or
last year, I guess it came out that's really good.
(29:49):
You gotta be careful though, because PBS they take some
of their content off, like after a short period of time,
so even the ones that you pay for with the
subscription they'll remove. Well, so far, so good. I've been
watching it. I mean it's it's like sixteen hours and
so it's gonna take me probably the rest of the
year to get through it. But it's good because I
(30:09):
you know, I'm I don't mind. You know, I'm not
a huge country music fan. I don't like the new
I like the older country music. But uh, it's it's
great because the early days of country music, you know,
Hillbillies and the odeling and all that, but radio radio
it's tied into the radio business, and these country music
stars were hired by radio stations and they would perform
(30:32):
at night, you know, like once a week on Saturday night,
they'd have a performance in and uh, it was very
interesting learning about the early days of both radio and
how country music were tied together, intertwined, and they created
these big stars. And it was so funny because they
they did a thing on Gene Autry and I when
(30:52):
I was younger, Gene Autrey owned the Angels, and I
was when I was an autograph hound. I used to
get Autrey's autograph, but I had no I really have
the context of how famous Gean Autrey had been at
one point in America, the singing cowboy, and how big
a deal he was at one point. You know, he
Roy Rogers and Autrey and those those country guys in
(31:14):
the beginning. I didn't realize it when I was you know,
when and when he was alive. He died in the nineties,
but pretty pretty crazy. Yeah, let's see here, Chris in
the Cocota Iowa writes and Chris sent us something we
talked about on the Benny Versus the Penny. We won't
get to that here. Chris says a lot of conspiracy
(31:37):
talk on the show lately. So what's your take on
JFK Grassy Knoll shooter conspiracy? And if you have time,
that nine eleven was done by our own government. Yeah,
I'm not not buying the nine eleven government. Uh sorry,
(31:58):
Although was it Building seven? That's a little fishy to me. Well,
and then it was a building seven? Is that the
one where he was down the street from the World
Trade Center and that collapsed hours later? Is that what
it was? I think it was called Building seven if
I remember correctly. That one's a little fishy to me.
I don't know what happened with that. But the the
(32:18):
JFK thing when I when I first got into radio business,
and that would be the topic of conversation still around
the dinner table. Was you know JFK you know? And
what happened? You know? I I don't know. I've heard
different theories on that. I have a feeling that it's
a little more complicated than the story that we've been fed.
But you know, if I've heard that the two shooter thing,
(32:40):
there's more people that were involved. It was a c
I a hit job. I don't. I don't know about
all that, but yeah, something more that's not I don't
think we're getting the holes and we're getting a version
of the truth, but not the whole truth. I hear
that stuff on the Pentagon too, on nine eleven. Oh
what about this video of the plane hitting the Pentagon?
How they're not I mean, did they did they docked
(33:02):
the video? I don't know. Travis in Roseberg, Oregon, right
since says Ben Uh, we're about the same age. Sometimes
I hear a bit of Tom likeas in your delivery?
Was he one of your influences. I did listen to Like.
I thought like this was a very good talk show host.
I did listen to him, um from time to time.
I was not like an everyday listener, but I would
(33:23):
listen to him if I was in the car and
he was on. And he says, you should revive Flash Friday.
He says, the malle malicious the perfect demographic for that problems.
We're on at night and most of the people that
listen are either at work. Well, we have truck drivers,
but just you know, I don't think it really work
of truck drivers flash each other on Flash Friday. I
don't think that would. But but Lias was great. And
(33:44):
I have buddy of mine that was an engineer for
Likeas and told me that like has hated sports radio
because he lost a job because the station he worked
at changed formats to sports and they whacked him. And
from that point forward, that's what I was told. I
don't know if that's true or not, but the guy
told me that's why. One of the reasons like his
hated sports radio because he lost a gig to it.
(34:04):
But yeah, he was he was pretty good. I mean compelling, entertaining,
all the things the ingredients are supposed to be as
a talk show. So sure, but I I don't know
influence yet. Jim Healy, I think you know hack saw
Jim Healy a little bit alike? Is uh Paul Harvey,
Good Day? Some of the people in radio that Art Bell,
some of the people that influenced me, Howard Stern, people
(34:26):
like that. Did you ever listen to like this? I
only listened to a handful of times. I was mustly
like listen to roam me when I was when I
was growing up, explains a lot. Kevin from Rockford, Illinois,
says Mr Miller. Other, First of all, think you're calling
Mr Miller Kevin very classy, very old, he says. Other
(34:47):
than you, are there really good people west of the
four or five? He says. I was in California on
vacation last year. I drove from San Francisco to Palm Springs.
Everyone I met on our road trip was a this
suck up, David gascon wannabe. No matter west or east
of the four oh five, you're still in California. As
pretty as the state is. The people suck. That's what
(35:10):
happens in Kevin San Francisco, and he probably never Well,
if you're going from Palm Springs or excuse me, San
francs Francisco to Palm Springs, you never came close to
the four oh five Freeway, like, not once, So they
don't try to front and be fucking friends with that. Yeah,
all right, that is true. The four oh five Freeway, Kevin,
(35:30):
only goes from the San Fernando Valley and it ends
in just past Irvine in you know, it's past Irvine
at the merge with the five and the four oh five.
It merges back with the five Freeway. And I used
to live right near the southern part of the four
oh five, but I lived on the I grew up,
(35:50):
thank god, I grew up near the five Freeway in Irvine.
Where it goes there's a four or five part where
the gascon a holes live, and then on the other
part is the the five where the commoners commoners live.
But yeah, the four or five in that part is
it's not a very long stretch, but all the a
holes live west of the four or five in California.
(36:14):
But yeah, there's a lot of dicks, and Kelly, I
agree with you, Kevin. Yeah, I agree with you. It's
not a lot of a holes. It's it's because you
go someone. You go to other parts of the country,
people are like, nice, how you doing, what's going on?
They smile in a little thing here, It's become a
lot like New York, you know, the cliche of New
York where everyone's you know, I'm worried about themselves and
their a holes. And yeah, it's tough. Even even like
(36:36):
even hot women get like they just fucking scalle at you.
If you hot, women always scal at you. No, that's
not true. That's that's that was true when you're fat
and I was fat, they scal at you. Well, because
you're sweating, so you're below me. Don't look at me.
You're not even word of me about Look. Get out
of here, you peasant, you fat peasant women. That's Heath love,
(37:00):
fat man. I should have been in the South. Were
we talking about? You're married, I've said when I was younger, though,
I could have taken a radio job in Atlanta or
something that would been great. Yeah, all right. Charlie in Memphis, Tennessee,
says a member of in CEO of the Gascon Group Ltd.
(37:25):
When will you apologize to David for ruining an expensive steak.
I have not ruined an expensive stake. If you have,
you've you've ruined it. Is this one of your burner accounts?
Charlie and Memphis Gascons? Are you pretending to be him? No,
that'd be a great day to go visit though, Memphis, Tennessee. Hello,
Memphis Barbecue. Go to Beal Street. Hang on, Memphis. Have
you heard about their barbecue compared to Texas and Kansas City? Well,
(37:51):
everyone's got their favorite. I'm I'm a fan of Kansas
City Barbecue. That's my favorite. And I love the z
Man sandwich at Casey Joe's formerly Oklahoma Joe's. It's the
greatest sandwich I've ever had. But I've not like I've
not had a lot of I've heard bad things about
Carolina barbecue. Have you ever had Carolina? But I've heard
(38:11):
it's not good. I've heard it's not good. I've heard
it's the worst of the big barbecue. Um. But I'd
love to go on a barbecue tour. It would be
a lot of fun. I had the time to go
around to Texas and Memphis and Kansas City, and there's
Tennessee barbecue. No, it would be fun, especially because you
can go ribs, briskets like anything. Obviously, you don't have
(38:33):
to go with one one chicken. Oh yeah, chicken barbet chicken.
Yeah exactly. Let's see Dave in Mesa, Arizona. I got
family in that area, he says, I do like your show.
Let's just southeast or yeah, just southeast of Scottsdale. They're
gonna go to Arizona hang out with thief. I don't
(38:55):
think anyone wants to hang out with me now because
of the Corona, but I need to see them. Uh
Day in Mace, Arizona says I do like your show,
listening for years and years. Thank you, Dave. I think
you should forgive the Houston Astros or face the fact
that the Rams cheated by a horrible no call to
get into the big game. Uh and and worst yet
(39:17):
to nine New Orleans their rifle spot. So homer of
you to do not to admit it again, Dave, you're
just You're just a troll. I'm glad that you like
the show, but you're a troll. You clearly have forgotten
that bad calls happen in games. They go against you.
Sometimes they go for you. Sometimes those things even out,
(39:38):
and they did even out for the New Orleans Saints.
They had the ball first in overtime. They had the
Hall of Fame quarterback. All you have to do is
go down, drive the ball down, get a touchdown. You
win the game. Drive do down, game the ball down,
get a field goal, get a stop, you win the game.
Remember what happened. I remember what happened in overtime. Saints
got possession of the ball first. They drove down and
(39:59):
around midfiel Yield, Drew Brees through an interception, Rams picked
it off. They don't even think they got a first
down and they kicked Greg's our line kicked along field goal, Game,
set and match. That's on Drew Brees. That's on the Saints.
Instead they're blaming the referees. It's embarrassing and how pathetic
(40:19):
you think about. Drew Brees is a Hall of Famer
and all time great. He has lost home playoff games
to Kirk Cousins and Jared Golf. Think about that for
a second. Let that marinate in your head. Carlos in Houston,
right Sin, since I heard the podcast when you cursed
on the air, and now when the Dodgers choke again.
(40:41):
Will you be cursing again? That was awesome? Well Carlos,
bang bang, How about your a holes? How about their
a holes there? Carlos, How are they doing? How are
they doing in the world serious guest, and how are
the Astros doing? You have an update? Two B D
T B D. Yeah, that's good. All right, we'll do
a couple more here. Thinkfull They did not get in
Fun nine and thirty one, all of a sudden they
(41:01):
get their landing in the World Series. It's a joke.
It's pathetic, and I hope someday to tell the story
I have to tell about the Astros. I believe these
statue of limitations is not run out yet, guests, guy,
But at some point I will be able to tell
the story. Yeah, how long are you gonna give that
thing to breathe? Oh? I have to give it a while.
(41:22):
I have to give it a while. I might need
a new person in power before I'm able to do it.
Not at our place, but they're they're anyway, uh Russ
in Evansville, Indiana, right, Since it is more delusional fan
base on being relevant in college sports, Tennessee or Nebraska
in football or Indiana in basketball. All right, So this
(41:45):
one to me is easy and just based on my
interactions with callers on the radio show. Now that we
talk much college athletic competition, we don't. We're mostly a
pro sports show. We don't do a lot of college. Um,
if there's a big college football championship game, we'll talk
about that. It's a big scandal involving Nick Saban, we'll
talk about that, But January we avoid that. So anyway, Uh,
(42:07):
the answers Tennessee, the Tennessee volunteer fan, God love him.
They are convinced they are on the come every year
that this is gonna be their year and whoever they
hire their new coach is going to be great. They
have not been relevant since what the late nineties? Yeah,
T Martin and company purely Spryce was there as well.
(42:27):
How great is it that Peyton Manning was there and
the greatest thing in the world and they didn't win
ship with Peyton Manning and T Martin comes in their
system quarterback, they win the national championship. That's great. That's
the equivalent of the Washington Nationals having Bryce Harper, getting
rid of Bryce Harper and free agency and then winning
the World Series the very next year. It's the same concept.
(42:50):
It's the same thing, is what it is? That? Yes
you did, that's right now. But tennise events, remember we
used to have was the guy's name from Nashville, Danny
from funny thing it was. And oh my god, he
was so every coach and you know, and I say
every coach. They went through a lot of coaches in
a short amount of time. But he would buy every rumor. Oh,
(43:12):
John Gruden was sputtered at a barbecue restaurant in Knoxville.
He's gonna be the coach of Tennessee, you know. And
I was like, okay, total bullshit story, but yeah, he
he went with it. But like, and I remember, they
hired Jeremy Pruitt, the guy that's currently coaching and he's
still a coach right at Tennessee, Jeremy Pruett, And they're,
oh my god, this guy is great. He's on the
Nick Saban coaching tree. Oh what a great higher one
(43:35):
and a minute, this guy is gonna turn this program around.
You just wait and see. And they always put the
caveat on there. Give it a couple of years, give
it a couple of years and they're they're gonna be great.
Oh my god, you know that, that whole thing, and
then you're like, okay, let's see. You know Jeremy Putty
uh pru it rather, he's been there. This is his
third year as the volunteer coach, so that means you've
(43:58):
had multiple recruiting lasses, You've got your players. And Tennessee
has played twenty nine games with Jeremy Prude as a coach.
They are fifteen and fourteen and fourteen, and they were
ranked in the preseason top twenty five. This year they
got as high as fourteen. There two and two the volunteers.
(44:19):
But that fan base, that is that takes the cake
for me. Russ. I know you might want me to
say Indiana basketball because you're from Evansville, Indiana, but I'm
going with Tennessee Tennessee football by a country mile. Alright,
last question, gesc are you ready for the last question?
All right? That says Ben do you listen to the
college marching bands in your spare time? He was aword.
(44:41):
This is Chris and Edmonton, Alberta. Uh and if you
like the bands at least, what are some of your
favorite melodies? Holmet Oilers by the way. That's right. Good
good knowledge there. Uh you know, I I you know
what I like is the drum major. That is great.
And I'm not a big band. Yeah, I like music,
(45:02):
but I'm not really a music person, which means I
don't really know what I'm listening to. I just like,
I like what I like, and I like what I
like and that's it. Um. But college bands are just
like the Ohio State band dotting the ie. The USC
marching band actually pretty pretty impressive. I used to go
to the USC games back in the day for Troy.
(45:23):
The USC marching band will go to like parties or weddings, like,
they go everywhere. It's not just obviously on campus for
USC football. It's pretty impressive when you see the band
marching around, you know, when you're outside the stadium and
the band's marching through, it's pretty cool. Yeah, it's pretty neat.
But do I have a favorite melody? And uh, I don't.
I don't. I don't have one, Chris, I'm sorry, but
(45:46):
I'm impressed that the formations they make. That's that's there's
a lot of choreography that goes in that when they
spell out it seems easy, but to actually get three
or two hundred people in the band to be in
the right spot. It's not that easy. And play the
right note too. Yeah, exactly. We can't even walk and
chew gum at the same time, right, I mean, come on, please,
can I do it? Can I do it? No? No? No,
(46:09):
I'm not going to do it? All right? So that
that will put the baby to bed? Yes, guest Con,
anything else you want to do? Hear versus the penny.
If you have not watched it, watch it. That is right,
thanks to our guy. If you did not hear Friday's podcast,
if you didn't stumble on Seth Dylan very good CEO
Babylon B Guestcon's wet dream come true. It was orgasmic
(46:30):
for Guestcon. And then we thank him for his time.
He was very nice, Seth. And then also on the
Saturday podcast, we think the Arizona Republic for doing a
full column, a thousand words story on me and my
quotes about Kyler Murray and making Alligator Arms Murray the
official nickname of Kyler Murray, putting it in the newspaper.
(46:51):
So we thank you for that. Have a great day today,
enjoy the football, and we'll be back on the radio
Sunday night in the Monday morning, and as long as
you guys keep downloading this Sunday podcast will keep it up.
The numbers have been good. We thank you for that.
Have a great day. We'll catch you next time. Be
